October 10, 2013: An international symposium was held in the Aula Magna of the Pontifical
Urban University in the Vatican on Wednesday, entitled "10 years of Asia - 10 years
of our history" organized by the Pontifical Institute for Foreign Missions and the
AsiaNews. During the conference it was announced that in the near future AsiaNews
would publish a Spanish Edition. Articles in Spanish, translated by a priest and a
layman from Argentina, will begin to appear from now on, on an experimental basis.
The
Holy Father in his message, signed by the card. Bertone, greeted the participants
and organizers and invited them to intensify efforts to raise awareness and missionary
activity, so that the saving message of the Gospel comes in all suburbs of the world,
while enhancing the close communion between the local Churches, intimately united
with the successor of Peter, and promoting generous mutual help for each other.
