Cardinal Matteo Zuppi’s visit is part of a diplomatic push to facilitate peace in Ukraine.
China’s last official encounter with the Vatican was between foreign minister Wang Yi and Archbishop Paul Gallagher in 2020.
Li Hui, China’s special envoy for Eurasian affairs, will meet with Zuppi, foreign ministry spokesman Mao Ning told a regular news conference. 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.
The Italian-born cardinal visited Kyiv and Moscow in June and then Washington in July as part of the Holy See’s attempts to bring Ukraine and Russia to the negotiating table.The Vatican has bilateral relations with democratically-governed Taiwan but not China, which claims the island as part of its territory. The Vatican is the only state in Europe to recognise Taipei.
