According to a South Korean spokesman, Pope Francis received an invitation Thursday from Kim Jong Un to visit North Korea. Francis responded that he would consider the invitation. The spokesman said the offer was conveyed verbally by South Korean President Moon Jae-in during his visit to the Vatican. CNN reports that the invitation comes at a time when the North Korean leader is on a diplomatic outreach campaign. He has held several summits in recent months with the leaders of South Korea and of China. He also met with US President Donald Trump. The Vatican declined to comment on whether the Pope would accept. No pope has ever visited North Korea.
Reuters reports North Korean leader Kim Jong Un has invited Pope Francis to visit Pyongyang in a gesture designed to highlight peace efforts on the Korean peninsula, South Korea’s presidential office said on Tuesday. North Korea and the Vatican have no formal diplomatic relations. South Korean President Moon Jae-in will deliver Kim’s invitation when he meets Francis next week during a trip to Europe. A spokesman said: “President Moon will visit the Vatican on Oct.
We look at heightened tension between Pyongyang and Washington. One paper reports that the US is engaged in "subtle-messaging" by flying stealth bombers over the Korean peninsula. Pope Francis, meanwhile, is embarking on his first Easter weekend as Pontiff: is his washing of feet more to do with washing his hands? And, in the throes of the Cyprus crisis, can IMF boss Christine Lagarde fix Europe?
Reuters reports U.S. President Donald Trump will visit South Korea this weekend after an exchange of letters with North Korean leader Kim Jong Un boosted hopes for talks aimed at ending North Korea’s nuclear program. Trump is set to arrive in South Korea for a two-day visit on Saturday, and will meet President Moon Jae-in on Sunday, following a summit of G20 leaders in Japan. The announcement comes hours after Mike Pompeo said he hoped a letter Trump sent to Kim could pave the way for a revival of stalled nuclear talks.
Following a two day visit, Chinese state media reported that China’s President Xi Jinping has departed North Korea. According to Reuters, Xi’s visit was the first to the reclusive nation by a Chinese leader in 14 years. During his visit, North Korean leader Kim Jong Un and the Chinese President attended a banquet in the capital city of Pyongyang.
