Pope Francis ended his 12-day Asian-Pacific tour in Singapore on September 11.

The Pope who began his tour on September 3 visited Indonesia as his first destination.

Here he interacted both with the Catholic and Muslim communities in Jakarta, the capital.

After this, he visited other countries including Papua Guinea, Timore Leste and finalised his trip today.

The Pope was welcomed by crowds at the Changi Airport as he interacted with some clergymen and children.

Pope Francis’ visit is considered iconic considering his recent health complications.

The 87-year-old has had to undergo a hernia surgery and has suffered respiratory issues. He now relies on a wheelchair, walking sticks or aides to get around.

The Pope’s trip was however very successful as he carried out several public engagements, and energised congregations through impromptu call-and-response.

In East Timor, he held a mass for 600,000 faithful -- almost half the nation's population -- before flying on Wednesday to finance hub Singapore.
