HIS HOLINESS ARAM I WILL ADDRESS THE G8 SUMMIT 2009,
DURING A PREPARATORY MEETING IN ROME
Italy will host the G8 Summit of the world's major industrialized nations
consisting of Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, the United Kingdom and
the United States. The G8 was established in 1975 as an informal forum for
Heads of Governments to discuss mutual or global concerns. Some of the
topics discussed by ministers are: health, economic and social development,
environment, foreign affairs, and justice.
This Summit in Italy is crucial because of the challenges posed by the
global economic crisis. On this occasion, the Italian Government, in
cooperation with the Roman Catholic Church have invited a small group of
religious leaders representing the major world religions to address the
agenda of the Summit.
His Holiness Aram I will be the only religious leader from the Middle East
and will speak during the opening session. The topic of his presentation
will be "The Role of Religion in addressing the current economic crisis and
its repercussions on people and the earth."
