In a statement, Al-Jarwan said that King Salman's wise directives will prevent the occurrence of such tragic incidents again.

The Arab Parliament's Chief reaffirmed that the Arab nation stands by the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and supports its vigorous efforts in holding the annual Hajj pilgrimage.

Al-Jarwan also extended his deepest condolences for the huge loss of life and wished for a swift recovery for those injured in the stampede.
