According to Shia Waves Agency, the head of the association, referring to concerns among Shiites worldwide over the condition of the holy shrine, said the talks aim to ensure the shrine’s security, facilitate safe pilgrimage, and support the surrounding local community. He also announced that the first group of pilgrims is expected to be dispatched in the coming months.
