South Korea’s Catholic Church has announced it has agreed with North Korea to send priests to the isolated communist state “on a regular basis”.
This should see priests leading services in Pyongyang on major holy days from next year.
The move followed a visit to the North Korean capital by South Korean bishops last week.
The visit was at the invitation of Pyongyang’s state-run Korean Catholic Association (KCA), which has no link with the Vatican.
There is no resident Catholic priest anywhere in North Korea.
The first visit by priests from South Korea is scheduled for Easter, 2016.
