KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia — Prime Minister Najib Razak of Malaysia is scheduled to meet with Pope Benedict XVI in Italy today, in a visit that analysts say is intended to signal a wish to mend ties with the country’s Christians after a series of episodes, including the firebombing of churches, that have strained interfaith relations in Malaysia, a Muslim-majority nation.
The talks at Castel Gandolfo, the pope’s summer residence, are expected to touch on the possibility of Malaysia establishing diplomatic relations with the Vatican.
