Pope Francis has accepted an invitation from Indian Prime Minister (PM) NarendraModi to visit his country in an evolution of relations with the Vatican.
This came after negotiations failed over a papal visit to the country in 2017, Russia Today reported.
“I had a very warm meeting with Pope Francis. I had the opportunity to discuss a wide range of issues with him and also invited him to visit India,” Moditweeted. In June 2000, late Prime Minister AtalBihari Vajpayee had last visited the Vatican and met the then Pope, His Holiness John Paul II.
