Pope Francis has arrived in Singapore, marking the final leg of his extensive 12-day tour across Southeast Asia and Oceania, aimed at bolstering the Catholic Church's influence in the region. This visit makes him only the second pope to visit the city-state, home to approximately 210,000 Catholics in a population of 5.92 million. During his stay, the Pope is expected to focus on interfaith dialogue and emphasize the Church's commitment to global issues, including gestures of goodwill towards China. The visit has prompted heightened security measures, causing travel delays between Singapore and neighboring areas. Despite health concerns, the 87-year-old pontiff has maintained a vigorous schedule, engaging with communities in Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, and East Timor before arriving in one of the world's wealthiest regions.
