Pope Francis prays for the 'cooperation to continue, bearing fruit that will benefit the beloved Korean people and the entire world'

VATICAN CITY – Pope Francis on Sunday, April 29, praised North and South Korean leaders for their “brave commitment” to peace after they agreed to work towards the denuclearization of the Korean peninsula.

The pontiff hailed the “positive outcome” of their historic summit in Seoul on Friday, April 27, when Kim Jong Un promised to close North Korea’s atomic test site next month and invite US weapons experts to the country, according to Seoul.

Francis said Kim and his southern counterpart Moon Jae-in had shown a “brave commitment… to follow a sincere path to peace towards a Korean peninsula free of nuclear weapons.” (IN PHOTOS: North Korea’s Kim ‘flooded with emotion’ as he enters South)
