LONDON — The Secretary-General of the Muslim World League, Sheikh Mohammad Al-Issa, on Saturday held talks with Pope Francis at his office in Saint Martha House at the Vatican, the Makkah-based organisation said.
The two sides discussed a number of issues related to shared values and the civilisational alliance, it added.
Following the meeting, Al-Issa said he was delighted with the sincere, brotherly and deep dialogue with Pope Francis.
“We discussed our shared values and building bridges between civilisations based on effective and sustainable initiatives,” he added. “I appreciate Pope Francis’s kind hospitality and noble sentiments.”
Pope Francis held a number of private meetings on Saturday after resuming his regular appointments a day after canceling his schedule as he was not feeling well.
