Regarding the report presented about the reduction of brokers, Hojjat al-Islam Navvab stated in the continuation of the meeting that last year, the number of brokers decreased and all capacities in the host country should be used to further reduce and increase the number of pilgrims.
In Hajj, executive and cultural agents should not be removed in any way in key jobs, but things that can be assigned should still be considered and in the process of reducing the forces, attention should always be paid to improving the quality and all efforts should be focused on better and more work, he emphasized.
