President Moon visits the Holy See… Pope Francis pays attention to offer to visit North Korea

President Moon Jae-in, who made an official visit to the Vatican, visited the Vatican on the morning of the 29th local time.

President Moon was interviewed by a Vatican official, and shortly thereafter, he had an exclusive meeting with Pope Francis.

It is the second time President Moon has visited the Vatican, after October 2018.

In particular, in this meeting, the most interesting question is whether President Moon has requested Pope Francis to visit North Korea.

When President Moon proposed a visit to North Korea in 2018, the Pope said, “I can go if an official invitation from North Korea arrives.”

President Moon is seeking a breakthrough for restarting the peace process on the Korean Peninsula at the end of his term in office by proposing a declaration of an end to the war at the UN General Assembly in New York last month.
