JAKARTA: Pope Francis arrived in Muslim-majority Indonesia on Tuesday (Sep 3) to kick off a four-nation tour of the Asia-Pacific that will be the longest and farthest of the 87-year-old's papacy.
The head of the world's 1.3 billion Catholics touched down in Jakarta for a three-day visit devoted to inter-religious ties, and will then travel to Papua New Guinea, Timor Leste and Singapore.
