184 230 | President Moon preaches Korean peace at Vatican, October 17, 2018


President Moon Jae-in summoned the Christian love for humanity and the European spirit of unity to inspire peace on the divided Korean Peninsula Wednesday, as the South Korean leader preached his policy to engage and denuclearize the rival North at the Vatican.

Moon attended a rare special mass for Korean peace at the Basilica of St. Peter, presided over by Cardinal State Secretary Pietro Parolin.


“The love for humanity that bloomed in Christianity and the European civilization has traveled through time and space to give hope to the Korean Peninsula. The spirit of inclusion and alliance that the European Union has been working to realize is giving inspirations in our journey toward lasting peace on the Korean Peninsula,” he said in an address after the mass.


Moon plans to meet with Pope Francis on Thursday and will deliver an invitation from North Korean leader Kim Jong-un for the pope to visit Pyongyang, according to the presidential office.
