This marked the accreditation of the new ambassador of Iraq to the Holy See, Rahman Farhan Abdullah Al-Ameri.<\/p>\n
\u201cI thank Your Holiness for accepting me as ambassador to the Holy See.\u201d<\/p>\n
In the middle of this cordial meeting in the Apostolic Palace, the new ambassador gave the pope an engraving of the city of Ur, historically related to Abraham's birthplace.<\/p>\n
\u201cA gift for you, Holy Father.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you, I appreciate it.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThis has touched my heart.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWe, as Iraqis, want to protect this.\u201d<\/p>\n
Pope Francis, in turn, gave him a copy of the most important texts of his pontificate. Among them was the document on Human Fraternity the pope signed in Abu Dhabi.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere are also the Arabic translations.\u201d<\/p>\n
The pope usually gives rosaries to ambassadors who present their credentials. On this occasion however, because he was dealing with an Islamic country, he made a special gesture.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is the medallion for the eighth anniversary of the pontificate.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cThank you.\u201d<\/p>\n
The meeting ended with a private audience in the pope's study. The two leaders discussed a variety of important topics and the relations that have united the two states since 1966.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
