After the conclusion of an 8-day Asian visit to Thailand and Japan, Pope Francis met a group from Central Asia on Wednesday, urging brotherhood and mutual understanding among people. 
Before his weekly general audience on Wednesday, the Holy Father met participants in a meeting sponsored by the Nizami Ganjavi Foundation.  The theme of the November 27-28 high-level meeting is, “Free from Violence: Peace,  Security and Conflict Prevention in the 2030 Development Agenda”.
The Pope expressed his gratitude to the Foundation for its “commitment to address the principal challenges of our day in order to promote peace through dialogue and mutual respect”, drawing inspiration from the 12th century Sunni Muslim poet, after whom the Foundation is named.   
He said members carry out this commitment by placing at the service of the global community the values and experiences acquired in carrying out the important responsibilities they have in their respective countries.
The Pope particularly offered his good wishes for the contribution they hope to make regarding the challenge of climate change.
He encouraged the Foundation in all its efforts “in the conviction that a culture of dialogue is the path, mutual cooperation is the code of conduct and reciprocal understanding is the method to grow in fraternity among persons and peoples”.
