Singapore, Sep 11 (EFE).- Pope Francis arrived in Singapore, one of the world's wealthiest nations, marking the final leg of his tour of Asia and Oceania. His visit to Singapore contrasts sharply with the extreme poverty he encountered in Papua New Guinea.

The Pope's speeches during this leg of his trip are expected to reflect the stark contrast between these nations. He is likely to focus on issues such as wealth disparity and social justice.

Pope Francis flew from Dili to Singapore aboard an AirDili flight that landed at 14:55 local time. He was met at the airport by Singapore's Minister for Culture, Edwin Tong. (Camera: HANDOUT).
