In September 2023during the press conference On the return flight from his visit to Mongolia, Pope Francis assured that “Vietnam is one of the most beautiful experiences of dialogue that the Church has had in recent times.”
“I would say that it is like a sympathy in the dialogue. Both parties have had the good will to understand each other and look for ways, there have been problems, but in Vietnam I think that sooner or later the problems are overcome,” she stated.
“As for the trip to Vietnam, if I don’t go, John XXIV will surely go… It is certain that he will go, because it is a land that deserves to go, that has my sympathy,” the Pontiff joked.
