The Civil Defense chief, visiting Al-Janadriyah 31, on Tuesday urged attendees of the ongoing national heritage and culture festival on the northern outskirts of Riyadh to visit the Civil Defense pavilion, interact with officials and give feedback to better serve the people.
Gen. Sulaiman bin Abdullah Al-Amr, Civil Defense director general, was accompanied by directorate officials.
He said the aim of the Civil Defense’s participation in the festival is to raise awareness among visitors, whose comments and suggestions will be taken into consideration.
Meanwhile, King Salman took part in the traditional Saudi Ardha (male folkloric dance) on Tuesday, which was also attended by Crown Prince Mohammed bin Naif and other VIPs.
