Mecca – The International Fairs and Museums of the Prophet’s Biography and Islamic Civilization, hosted by Rabat under the patronage of His Majesty King Mohammed VI, have achieved their objectives, said, in Mecca on Wednesday, the Secretary General of the Muslim World League (MWL), Mohammed Al-Issa.
