“Today I had the special honour and blessing of meeting with His All Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew, just before his presence in Parliament for his historic speech.

His presence and words are a constant source of inspiration, wisdom and spiritual guidance, reminding us all of the importance of global dialogue, unity and the values that unite us.

In a time of challenges and uncertainty, I hold as a precious legacy the message of peace and understanding that we need today more than ever.”
