His extensive diplomatic career, which has taken him from Tanzania to the Vatican and the Philippines, demonstrates his unwavering commitment to fostering dialogue and cooperation on an international scale.

His willingness to engage with diverse communities and adapt to distinct cultural contexts makes him an inspiring figure for young Catholics and non-Catholics alike.
