[Asia Economy Reporter Lee Ji-eun] President Moon Jae-in, who embarked on a European tour to attend the G20 Summit, will have his first official schedule with a private meeting with Pope Francis at the Vatican.


On the morning of the 29th (local time), President Moon visited the Vatican.


President Moon received a reception from Vatican officials and will shortly have a private meeting with Pope Francis.


This is the first time in about three years since October 2018 that President Moon has visited the Vatican, drawing attention to whether he will request 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," but the visit has not yet materialized.
