"We have long hoped to have a stable presence in China," said Parolin, who represented Pope Francis at the conference. The conference was a rare opportunity to hold high-level talks between both parties.According to Parolin, the Vatican can consider a new diplomatic formula with China, a diplomatic formula different from what the Vatican has done elsewhere. He stated that the relationship with China may be different from that with Vietnam.

Present at the conference was Bishop Joseph Shen Bin from Shanghai. Shen Bin's ordination as Bishop of Shanghai in 2023 was controversial as he was appointed by Chinese authorities without consultation with the Vatican. In a video message, Pope Francis said that the Catholic Church has made progress in China and other places through unexpected channels. This progress has even occurred in trying and challenging moments that test patience.People gather next to the Christmas tree at Xishiku Catholic Church in Beijing, China, Sunday .
