Indonesia seeks help from Saudi Arabia to increase its Quran production
Jakarta – Indonesia is exploring cooperation in Quran printing management with Saudi Arabia to narrow the deficit of Quran supply in the country.
Indonesian Minister of Religious Affairs Yaqut Cholil Qoumas told Salaam Gateway that last week he met with Saudi Arabia’s Minister of Islamic Affairs Sheikh Abdullatif bin Abdul Aziz and General Secretary of the King Fahd Complex for the Printing of the Holy Quran, Talal bin Razin Al-Rehil in Medina to ask for assistance.
“We asked the Saudi government to send a technical team to Indonesia to help us upgrade our Quran printing press. So in terms of the management, the quality of the building, machinery and materials, we can replicate them,” Qoumas said.
