JAKARTA (Reuters) – Pope Francis arrived on Tuesday in Indonesia, the first leg of an ambitious four-country Asia-Pacific tour in which he is expected to urge global action on climate change.
The 87-year-old pontiff landed at Jakarta’s Soekarno–Hatta airport on a chartered ITA airways flight also carrying his entourage and accompanying reporters. Francis will also visit East Timor, Singapore and Papua New Guinea over the next 10 days.
