History: 60 Years Ago, King Saud and Head of the Chinese Pilgrimage Mission
An old photo was documented 50 years ago where the past King Saud bin Abdulaziz is setting along with the Head of the Chinese Pilgrimage Mission, Burhan Al-Shahidi.
The picture was part of the ceremony for King Saud to receive “Al-Shahidi”, who was also the President of the Islamic University of China at the time.
It is worth noting that the photo was taken in 1956 during the Hajj season, and it clearly shows the long relationship between the two countries.
