Indonesian President Prabowo Subianto has urged further reductions to the lengthy waiting list for Hajj pilgrimage departures. The Ministry of Religious Affairs is responding by working to accelerate the process and hoping to secure a significantly larger quota from Saudi Arabia. Currently, many Indonesian citizens face extensive delays, sometimes decades long, before being able to perform the Hajj. The Ministry aims to shorten these wait times following the presidential directive. Securing an increased quota from Saudi Arabia is considered crucial to achieving this goal. This initiative reflects the government’s commitment to facilitating religious observances for its citizens. Further details regarding specific reduction targets and quota negotiations are expected to be announced soon.
