Pope Francis on Tuesday received King
Abdullah II of Jordan in an audience at the Vatican.
In a communique following the audience, the Holy See Press
office said the “cordial conversations focused above all on the theme of the
promotion of peace and stability in the Mideast, with
particular reference to the question of Jerusalem and the role
of the Hashemite Sovereign as Custodian of the Holy Places.”
The communique continued, “In this context, the commitment
was renewed to encourage negotiations among the interested parties, as well as
promoting inter-religious dialogue.”
Finally, the Press Office stated that the conversation
touched on “the importance of helping Christians remain in the
Middle East.” The two leaders also spoke of “the positive contributions”
Christians “bring to the societies of the region, of which they are an integral
part.”
Following the Audience with Pope Francis, King Abdullah met
with the Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin, and
the Secretary for Relations with States, Archbishop Paul Gallagher.
