Pope Francis boarded the papal plane with some 70 journalists to begin the 38th international trip of his pontificate, to Kazakhstan. <\/p>\n
The Pope kept his remarks to those on board brief.<\/p>\n
POPE FRANCIS As he typically does on his trips, the Pope then greeted the journalists onboard individually. Asked about a potential meeting with Chinese Preident Xi Jinping who will be in Nur-Sultan while he is there, Pope Francis said he did not have any news on that, but said he is already ready to travel to China.<\/p>\n Several journalists also offered him gifts, such as this stole from a Catholic community in Mozambique where a religious sister was recently murdered. (2:00)<\/p>\n Upon entering Kazakh airspace, the Pope's plane was escorted to Nur-Sultan with F16 military fighter jets. <\/p>\n After the six and a half hour flight from Rome, the Pope landed in Kazakhstan and entered in the airport's Presidential VIP Terminal using a wheelchair to meet with Kazakhstan's president, Kassym-Jomart Tokayev. <\/p>\n He thanked the Pope for coming to Kazakhstan to participate in the seventh Congress of Leaders of World and Traditional Religions. <\/p>\n KASSYM-JOMART TOKAYEV POPE FRANCIS The Pope then met members of Kazakhstan's government, before introducing President Tokayev to members of the Vatican's diplomatic corps. <\/p>\n<\/p>\n JM<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" September 13, 2022.
