A potential visit by Pope Leo XIV to North Korea is being discussed, according to Cardinal Lazzaro You Heung-sik. The possibility of the trip is contingent upon approval from North Korean authorities in Pyongyang. This development follows a Monday meeting between Pope Leo XIV and South Korean President Lee Jae Myung. While the specific details of their conversation remain undisclosed, the Yonhap news agency reports that Kim Jong Un’s potential visit to South Korea may have been a topic of discussion. Cardinal You Heung-sik, originally from South Korea, indicated the Vatican is open to the visit if conditions allow. The prospect of a papal visit could represent a significant diplomatic opportunity in the region.
