NUR-SULTAN, Kazakhstan - Pope Francis said Tuesday he was willing to go to China at any time but had"no news" to offer over speculation he might meet Chinese President Xi Jinping while both are in Kazakhstan.

President Kassym-Jomart Tokayev greeted the Pope briefly at the airport before the Pope travelled in a small white car to the gleaming marble presidential palace for a private meeting with the head of state ahead of an address to government officials and the diplomatic corps. Pope Francis used a cane to walk around the plane greeting reporters as he usually does on such trips. He appeared in pain by the time he returned to his own seat in the front section of the aircraft.
