Pope’s Ukraine peace envoy discusses grain exports with China

RELIGIONS NEWS AGENCY (REDNA) – Pope Francis’ Ukraine peace envoy has discussed with China the impact of the war in Ukraine on grain exports to feed the world’s hungry.

Cardinal Matteo Zuppi held meetings with Li Hui, China’s special representative for Eurasian affairs, at the Chinese foreign ministry.

The Vatican said he emphasised the need to foster dialogue and find paths leading to peace so that the export of cereals could be guaranteed especially to countries most at risk.

His visit was the fourth leg of a peace mission that has  taken him to Kyiv, Moscow and Washington.

Initial discussions were on the fate of children forcibly removed to Russia but no  mention of this has been made by the Vatican from this mission.
