Pope Francis starts longest foreign tour yet in Indonesia | DW News

Pope Francis has kicked off the longest foreign tour of his papacy to date in Indonesia.

The 87-year-old arrived in Jakarta to begin his tour of Southeast Asia and Oceania that will see him visit Papua New Guinea, East Timor, and Singapore in the coming week.

In his 16 planned speeches, Pope Francis will be able to talk about his main themes of his pontificate, which began in March 2013.

This is Francis’ 45th international trip, coming after almost a year in which he did not leave Italy. John Paul II, pope from 1978 to 2002, was the only pope to take more trips during his long pontificate — 104 altogether.
