Pope Francis, during his visit to Indonesia, emphasized the importance of interfaith harmony and environmental protection. At Jakarta's Istiqlal Mosque, he and Grand Imam Nasaruddin Umar signed the Istiqlal Declaration, advocating for joint action on humanitarian and environmental crises and condemning religious-based violence. The declaration highlights the need for interreligious dialogue to resolve conflicts and promote human dignity. Additionally, Pope Francis praised Indonesia's family values, contrasting them with Western trends of having pets over children, and urged the global community to prioritize children for a balanced society. His visit also aimed to bolster religious tolerance in Indonesia, a country with a history of religious diversity and occasional violence against minorities.
