Pope Francis Calls for Unity and Tolerance in Indonesia

During his visit, the Pope emphasized the importance of diversity and interfaith dialogue to combat extremism and intolerance.

Pope Francis met with Indonesian leaders and clergy on the first day of his 11-day tour in Southeast Asia and Oceania.
He highlighted Indonesia's cultural diversity and urged the nation to maintain harmony and resist religious intolerance.
Francis' visit includes a significant interfaith meeting at Jakarta's Istiqlal mosque with representatives of six religions.
The Pope's trip aims to support the Catholic minority in Indonesia and enhance interreligious relations.
Amnesty International hopes the visit will reduce acts of intolerance and discrimination against minority groups.
