BALI — Crown Prince and Prime Minister Mohammed Bin Salman announced on Wednesday that Saudi Arabia will sponsor the restoration of Jakarta Islamic Center, following a fire accident last month, which damaged a large part of the Center.

Saudi Press Agency (SPA) said that the announcement of the Crown Prince confirms his keenness and interest in Islamic Centers in all countries, as they have a significant role in the education of younger generations and the spread of a tolerant Islam, as well as its message based on peace, moderation, and dialogue.

The Jakarta Islamic Center covers an area of 109,435 square meters and consists of many facilities, including a mosque with an area of 2,200 square meters, which accommodates more than 20,000 worshipers, in addition to a research studies center and a conference hall. — SG
