| Pope Francisco talks to journalists in flight from Cairo to Rome |
Pope Benedict on Saturday called for a diplomatic solution to be used and for the United Nations to recover a solution that would reduce tensions around North Korea.
"The way is the negotiation, the diplomatic solution. This world war, which I have been talking about for two years or so, is in pieces, but these have widened and concentrated," said the Pontiff. "This of the missiles of Korea happened more than a year ago, but now it seems that the thing has warmed up a lot," said Francisco on the development of nuclear weapons in that country.
The pope referred to the issue when asked by the international media, including the Efe agency, who traveled with him on his return to Rome after a visit to Cairo, Egypt. He spoke on the issue after North Korea tested a ballistic missile on Saturday shortly after US Secretary of State Rex Tillerson warned that failure to contain Pyongyang's nuclear and ballistic missile program could lead to " Catastrophic. "
"Let's stop, let's look for a diplomatic solution, and then I believe that the United Nations has a duty to resume its leadership somewhat because it's a bit 'watered down," he said.
Trump
The pope also said he does not know whether US President Donald Trump, who will travel to Italy in May, has requested a hearing with him at the Vatican, but said he is willing to see him. "I have not yet been informed by the Secretary of State that I have made a petition, but I receive every head of state who requests a hearing."
The Vatican explained last week that "in the face of any petition for a hearing with the Pope," every effort is made to address it, "after White House spokesman Sean Spicer said he would contact the Vatican to discuss this possibility.
