VATICAN CITY (Reuters) - Pope Francis' envoy, Cardinal Matteo Zuppi, had
"open and cordial" talks in Beijing with a Chinese government official on the need to find ways to peace in Ukraine, the Vatican said on Thursday.
The meeting, which"took place in an open and cordial atmosphere, was dedicated to the war in Ukraine and its dramatic consequences", a statement said. Since Russian forces swept into Ukraine in February 2022, China has refrained from condemning its ally Moscow, although it has repeatedly called for a ceasefire and a political solution to the crisis.
China's willingness to hold talks with the papal envoy has been seen as significant, given the difficult relations between Beijing and the Vatican.
