Congrats to His Holiness Pope Francis on his election as Supreme Pontiff of the Catholic Church and spiritual leader of Catholics around the world. Relations between Singapore and the Holy See are warm. We have worked together to promote equity and development, and foster peace and religious harmony. I look forward to continue cooperating with the Catholic Church, the Apostolic Nuncio in Singapore Archbishop Leopoldo Girelli and our newly appointed Coadjutor Archbishop William Goh towards our shared goals. – LHL
