Leader names new Hajj Affairs representative

The Leader of Ummah has appointed Hojjatoleslam Ali Qazi-Askar as his new representative for Hajj Affairs.

In a Sunday decree, Imam Seyyed Ali Khamenei appointed Qazi-Askar for his “valuable experience, high competence and innovative spirit.”

The Leader thanked Ayatollah Mohammad Mohammadi Reyshahri, the former representative for Hajj Affairs, for his rendering of services.

Mohammadi Reyshahri stepped down in early January after 20 years of service.
