Saudi Arabia Gifts Thousands of Quran Copies to Thailand

TEHRAN (IQNA) – Riyadh has presented around 50,000 copies of the Holy Quran as a gift to Thailand.

This came after both countries restored their full diplomatic ties in more than three decades.

Part of the copies are written in the Braille system for people with impaired vision.

Following their arrival, the Saudi embassy in Thailand started to distribute the copies to Islamic centres authorised by the Thai government, Saudi acting ambassador Essam bin Salih said, according to Sabq news portal.

Last week, Saudi Arabia and Thailand agreed to fully restore diplomatic ties between the two countries and to exchange ambassadors in the near future.

The move was agreed during a landmark official visit by Thai Prime Minister Prayut Chan-o-cha to Riyadh where he met Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman.
