Benedict XVI: Sustainable development for the world
YouTube-Vatican's ChannelFebruary 19, 2009
To free the world from poverty and give more voice to developing countries has been one of the issues at the heart of talks between Pope Benedict XVI and British Prime Minister Gordon Brown. Respect for the environment and sustainable development were given as roads for the future.The Pope's purchase of the first bonds for health projects and assistance in 2006 has led to the collection of over one billion and six hundred million dollars, enabling five hundred million children to be vaccinated by 2015.The prime minister gave the Pope a picture with reference to some of the vaccinated individuals.Finally a renewed international commitment to the crisis in the Middle East was called for.
