Pope Francis has begun his longest papal trip, landing in Indonesia as the first stop of a four-nation tour that includes Papua New Guinea, East Timor, and Singapore. This 12-day journey aims to strengthen interfaith ties in a country where Muslims constitute the majority, and will feature a significant interfaith meeting at Jakarta's Istiqlal mosque. Despite the small percentage of Catholics in Indonesia, the visit underscores the country's tradition of religious tolerance, although recent incidents of intolerance raise concerns. During his stay, he will meet with refugees and migrants, and will also sign a joint declaration addressing issues like violence and environmental degradation. The Indonesian government has launched special stamps to commemorate the visit, reflecting respect for the Catholic community, and emphasizing the themes of faith and fraternity. Security measures are extensive, with thousands of personnel deployed to ensure the pope's safety during his stay.
