Pope expresses concern over East Asia tensions
Posted on 2026-01-10 14:07:13
Pope Leo XIV expressed concern over rising tensions in East Asia and called
for peaceful dialogue during his annual New Year's address to the diplomatic
corps.

The New Year's audience is considered a cornerstone of Vatican diplomacy. The
Vatican is Taiwan's sole diplomatic ally in Europe.

Taiwan's ambassador to the Holy See ... Anthony Ho ... shook hands with the
Pope and conveyed greetings and well-wishes from Taiwanese President Lai
Ching-te.

Ho also thanked the Pope for twice offering public prayers for Taiwanese
people affected by typhoons since his inauguration last May.

In his speech, Pope Leo warned that war is once again prevailing, lamenting
that global peace increasingly relies on force rather than justice. In his
comments about East Asia, he didn't specifically mention China or Taiwan.
