The Pope meets the military leaders of Myanmar ahead of schedule
The meeting was arranged to take place in Yangon on the morning of November 30. Francis received them in the palace of the archbishopric and talked about their role in the transition process.
It was supposed to be a day of rest, some hours before tomorrow’s tour de force - Tuesday 28 November - with the scheduled institutional meetings and the speech before the political authorities of the country. But Francis accellerated the times and this afternoon in the palace of the Archbishopric of Yangon he met with the Burmese military leaders.
