ISLAMABAD – Ten thousand more Pakistani pilgrims will be able to undertake Hajj 2025 as the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia has increased Quota.

KSA agreed to increase Hajj quota for Pakistani citizens, allowing additional pilgrims to perform sacred journey after a special request was made by Pakistan’s Foreign Minister Ishaq Dar to his Saudi counterpart to accommodate those who were unable to register before the deadline for Hajj.

The request was made after directives of Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif and with the dedicated efforts of Deputy PM Dar. Saudi authorities approved extension of Hajj quota for Pakistan, demonstrating strong bilateral ties between Islamabad and Riyadh.

The decision will enable ten thousand more Pakistani citizens to undertake the pilgrimage, a dream for many Muslims worldwide. This action shows mutual cooperation and longstanding friendship between Brother nations.
