“For several decades now our world has witnessed a constant migratory flow of religious minorities, including Christian minorities. This flow has been witnessed, inter alia, from predominantly Muslim countries in the direction of Europe, North America and Australia. Therefore, an improvement in the respect shown towards religious freedom, inter alia, in countries of the Middle East and Africa, should – together with other factors (particularly economic factors) – contribute to a stemming of the demographic haemorrhage which has affected these religious minorities.” – H.E. Mgr. Dr. Joe Vella Gauci, Ambassador & Permanent Delegate of Malta to UNESCO
