VATICAN CITY - Globalisation creates "new forms of slavery" by generating more poverty and oppression, Pope Benedict XVI said Saturday.
"Globalisation often characterised by profit-seeking increases the number of poor, migrants (and) the oppressed," he said as he met with delegates of the Superior Council of missionary societies at the Vatican.
"New problems and new forms of slavery appear in our era (in both) the well-off and rich world (which) suffers from uncertainty over its future" and in developing countries, he said.
