TEHRAN (ISNA)- A delegation from Iranian Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization left for Saudi Arabia for the second round of talks on Hajj.

Mehdi Shahsawari, Head of Public Relations of Iranian Hajj and Pilgrimage Organization said there was not considerable change in members of the Iranian team and it is still led by Head of the organization Saeed Ohadi.

He said the visit comes after a demand by Saudi Ministry of Hajj. Visas of the Iranian officials were issued through a third party, the UAE.

He said that Iran still insists in respecting dignity of the country’s pilgrims in Hajj rituals, receiving consular services and issuing visa in the country’s (Saudi Arabia) territory.

Ohadi is going to meet with Saudi minister of Hajj.
