Vatican City (Agenzia Fides) - The Holy Father Benedict XVI received in audience King Hamad Bin Isa Al-Khalifa of Bahrain, in the Apostolic Palace of Castel Gandolfo on July 9. The sovereign subsequently went on to meet with Archbishop Dominique Mamberti, secretary for Relations with States. As a communique released by the Holy See Press Office said, in the course of the discussions, which took place in a cordial atmosphere, the Vatican authorities had the opportunity to thank the king for the welcome he has shown to many Christian immigrants. Emphasis was given to the shared commitment in favour of inter-cultural and inter-religious dialogue, and to the importance of collaboration between Christians, Muslims and Jews for the promotion - in the Middle East and throughout the world - of peace, justice and spiritual and moral values. The king invited the Holy Father to visit his country. (SL) (Agenzia Fides 10/7/2008)
