Pope Francis has commended Singapore for its various policies and initiatives to support the most vulnerable in the country, while also expressing hope that special attention will be given to the poor, the elderly, and the protection of the dignity of migrant workers.
The Pope said it is important that Singapore has not only prospered economically but has also striven to build a society in which social justice and the common good are held in high regard. He encouraged Singapore to continue working in favour of the unity and fraternity of humanity and the common good of all peoples and nations, in a way that does not exclude others or is restricted to its own national interests.
The leader of Vatican City and the Catholic Church, who arrived here on Wednesday, was earlier accorded a ceremonial welcome at the Parliament House.
