In the reply to the question by a journalist, Pope Francis replied that he had no new news on the matter of meeting between both the Holy Father and the Chinese President, but assured that he was “ready” to go to China.
It should be noted that the Chinese president will coincide with Pope Francis in Kazakhstan, where the Holy Father will be until Thursday, September 15.
As is tradition, Pope Francis greeted one by one the more than 70 journalists who are accompanying him on this Apostolic Journey.
Supported by his cane, he walked through the aisles of the plane and thanked everyone for their presence and “their help during this trip.”
“I wish you good work, we will talk when you return,” Pope Francis said.
