Pope arrives in Thailand and arrives in Japan on November 23 at 17:12 on November 20

Pope Francis of the Roman Catholic Church visiting Japan and Thailand has arrived in Thailand, his first destination. I heard that they were looking forward to the visit, such as smiling when asked about their visit to Japan.

Pope Francisco, who visits Japan and Thailand from 20th to 26th this month, arrived in Bangkok, Thailand on a special plane on the 20th afternoon.

The Pope has visited Thailand for the first time in 35 years since John Paul II.

At the airport, not only the Pope, who was teaching as a nun in Thailand, but also people from the Catholic Church and children wearing national costumes welcomed the flag of Thailand and the Vatican.

On the flight to Thailand, Pope Francisco said to the reporters who accompanied him from the Vatican, "Thank you for your work in conveying different cultures."

After that, I greeted each one and the NHK interview team asked, “You have n’t been able to visit Japan at all.” It was.

In this visit to Thailand, Pope Francis will meet with King Vachilalongkorn and the highest leaders of Thai Buddhism, and will be able to convey dialogue and harmony with different religions as a message.

I will arrive in Japan on the 23rd of this month and visit Tokyo in addition to Nagasaki and Hiroshima.
