Dr. Norah Al-Thuwaibi was appointed vice president for scientific, intellectual and women's guidance affairs.

"The responsibility is doubled when it comes to the Two Holy Mosques because they are the destination for millions of Muslims, and serving them is a matter of great honor that everyone seeks" she said.

"Everyone at the General Presidency is working on preparing integrated work methodologies and exerting all possible efforts to become a true model of institutional work, governance, quality, supporting women and establishing creative work environments, which would contribute to … development and efficiency in a short period" Al-Daadi added.
