“I accompany with prayer the positive success of last Friday’s Inter-Korean Summit and the courageous commitment assumed by the leaders of the two sides, to engage in a course of sincere dialogue for a Korean Peninsula free of nuclear arms,” Pope Francis said April 29, 2018, after praying the Regina Coeli in St. Peter’s Square with a crowd of many thousands. “I pray to the Lord that the hope of a future of peace and more fraternal friendship won’t be disappointed and that the collaboration can continue bearing fruits of goodness for the beloved Korean people and for the whole world.”
