    HIS HOLINESS ARAM I MEETS WITH THE PRIMATE
    OF THE CATHOLIC COMMUNITIES OF KUWAIT

    On Monday 27 November 2006, His Holiness Aram I received Bishop Camillo
    Ballin, Vicar Apostolic of Kuwait/Titular Bishop of Arna, and the director
    of the Catholic Seminary in Beirut.

    The Catholic Bishop informed the Armenian Catholicos about the Christian
    communities in Kuwait and their ties with the government. Bishop Ballin
    recalled His Holiness' previous visit to Kuwait, the ecumenical service held
    in the Catholic Church on this occasion and the sermon delivered by the His
    Holiness.

    The Catholicos praised the Catholic Bishop's brotherly relations with the
    Catholicosal Vicar of the Armenian Diocese of Kuwait, Archbishop Gorun
    Babian and with the Armenian community in general, stressing the importance
    of strengthening the unity between Christian communities.

    The two also discussed the situation of Christian communities in the Middle
    East and the Christian-Muslim dialogue in the region.
