"The example of your nation, of mixing people of good will, regardless of their race, nationality or belief, into a shared view and into an orderly pursuit of the common good stated the Pope , has encouraged many young nations in their efforts to create a harmonious, free and fair social order". "I am confident that your country, which is based on the self-evident truth that the Maker has provided ever human being with some inalienable rights highlighted the Pope , will keep finding in the principles of the common moral law" "sound guidance to assert its leadership within the international community". Benedict XVI insisted on the importance of "inter-religious and intercultural dialogue as a positive force for peace", in particular "for the promotion of non-violence and the rejection of those ideologies that manipulate and deface religion for political purposes and justify violence in the name of God". Then, he praised "the efforts made by so many of your fellow citizens and heads of government to guarantee the legal protection of God’s gift of life, from its conception to its natural death, and to protect the institution of marriage, recognised as a stable union of a man and a woman".
