President Moon Jae-in had an amicable chat with U.S. President Joe Biden on Feb. 4 over their shared religion ― Catholicism ― during their first telephone conversation since Biden took office Jan. 20. Both of them are also the second Catholic heads of state of their countries after Kim Dae-jung and John F. Kennedy, respectively, who are probably among the most respected national leaders in their countries.
According to Cheong Wa Dae, Biden first raised the topic saying Pope Francis telephoned him to congratulate him on his inauguration. Moon gave a warm response, recalling his courtesy visit for talks with the Pope in 2018, saying he expressed the hope to play his own role for peace in East Asia.
