The Pope will travel to Bahrain from November 3 to 6. There he will participate in the "Forum for Dialogue", an initiative created to promote dialogue between East and West.
The papal trip to Bahrain will take place less than a year after the delivery of the official letter of invitation sent to Pope Francis by King Hamad bin Isa al Khalifa.
With this trip, the 39th of his pontificate, Francis will become the first Pope to visit the Kingdom of Bahrain, located on the west coast of the Persian Gulf.
