STORYLINE:
Around 9,000 police and soldiers are on standby ready for Pope Francis' visit to Indonesia.
The personnel, who include presidential security officers, will be deployed to secure the pope's 4 day visit which starts on Tuesday in the capital Jakarta.
Francis is making the longest, farthest and most challenging trip of his pontificate.
He will clock 32,814 kilometers (20,390 miles) by air during his Sept. 2-13 visit to Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, East Timor and Singapore.
That far surpasses any of his previous 44 trips and notches one of the longest papal trips ever, in terms of days on the road and distances traveled.
That’s no small feat for a pope who turns 88 in December, uses a wheelchair, and lost part of a lung to a respiratory infection as a young man.
In Indonesia, the highlights of his visit to Jakarta will be a meeting with the outgoing President Joko Widodo, a visit to the underground “Tunnel of Friendship” linking Indonesia’s main Istiqlal Mosque to the country’s Catholic cathedral, followed by an interfaith gathering and signing a joint declaration.
And finally, on Thursday there will be a Holy Mass for some 60,000 faithful in one of the biggest stadiums in South East Asia.
The Pontiff will head to Port Moresby in Papua New Guinea on Friday.
