“The opening of the embassy marks an important milestone and will elevate relations between Malaysia and the Holy See to greater height”, the foreign ministry said in a statement.

During this inaugural visit the Malaysian foreign minister met his counterpart, the Most Reverend Archbishop Paul Gallagher, and Vatican Secretary of State Cardinal Pietro Parolin.

Both sides were keen to collaborate on efforts to promote inter-religious dialogue and understanding.

Diplomatic ties between Malaysia and the Holy See were established in 2011, following Prime Minister Najib Razak’s visit to the Vatican City.

Anifah Aman’s visit also provided Malaysia with the opportunity to make clear its concept of moderation under the Global Move­ment of Moderates (GMM), which is aimed at promoting tolerance, understanding and respect through upholding the values of moderation and the rejection of extremism, it said.

The GMM initiative was formulated based on Malaysia’s experience in successfully developing its political, economical and social infrastructure by providing an environment of racial and religious harmony, the foreign ministry’s statement added.

Manneken-Pis, the symbol of Brussels folklore, gets a costume at major events. Yesterday he celebrated the opening of the exhibition Astérix chez les Belges at the Belgian Comic Strip Center.

The Asterix comic strips was created by the French writer Rene Goscinny (1926-1977) and illustrator Albert Uderzo (b.1920), also French, and first appeared in the Franco-Belgian comics magazine Pilote in 1959.

The Manneken Pis (meaning “Little man Pee, in Dutch), also known as Petit Julien, is a landmark, 61 cm tall bronze sculpture, depicting a naked little boy urinating into a fountain’s basin.

It was designed by Hiëronymus Duguesnoy the Elder, and put in place in 1618 or 1619. It replaced the original version from 1388. The statue is at the junction of Rue de l’Étuve / Stoofstraat and Rue du Chêne / Eikstraa.

Spekulasjonene har lenge gått hvor i Skandinavia flyselskapet skulle etablere seg – Arlanda eller Kastrup. Når man nå etablerer seg i begge byene kan det være naturlig også å vurdere Norge, selv om det ligger litt frem i tid.

Air India starter sine flyvninger med en Dreamliner 787-800 mellom Stockholm og Indias hovedstad New Dehli 15. åugust med tre daglige avganger per uke.

En måned senere drar flyselskapet i gang sine ruter til New Dehli fra København, også her tre avganger i uken.
