Pope Francis will pay a visit to the North Korea, if an official invitation arrives, he said at the meeting with South Korean President Moon Jae-in in Vatican.
The South Korean President relayed an invitation from North Korean leader Kim Jong Un for the pope to visit, Yonhap news agency reported, citing Moon's office.
Moon's top press secretary, Yoon Young-chan, cited the pope as saying he would "unconditionally give an answer if an (official) invitation arrives and I can go."
The president asked the pope if he may tell the North Korean leader to send an official delegate to invite the pope. The pope said the verbal invitation relayed by President Moon should be sufficient but that an official invitation would also be good, according to Yoon.
