“Dear friends, today, more than ever, our societies need ‘artisans of hospitality’, men and women committed to the integral development of all peoples within a human family committed to dwelling in justice, solidarity and fraternal harmony,” he said in an address when meeting with the Thai authorities, civil society and members of the diplomatic corps at Bangkok’s Government House.
The Holy Father, in his speech, said as a multi-ethnic and diverse nation, Thailand has long known the importance of building harmony and peaceful co-existence between its numerous ethnic groups, while showing respect and appreciation for different cultures, religious groups, thoughts and ideas. “Yet the experience of a unity that respects and makes room for diversity serves as an inspiration and incentive for all those concerned about the kind of world we wish to leave to our children," said Pope Francis.
“We know that the challenges facing our world today are indeed global, embracing the entire human family and calling for a firm commitment to international justice and solidarity between peoples.
