The apostolic visit of Pope Francis to Myanmar (27-30 November) will usher in a new beginning for all to work for peace and prosperity, said a Buddhist social worker. "It is a great honour for our country that Pope Francis will visit this November,” said Ngwe Thein, executive director of Capacity Building Initiative (CBI), speaking to AsiaNews.
“It is a very rare chance for us to receive the first ever visit by a universal Church leader,” he added, someone “who is respected and acknowledged for his effort for peace and humility".
