 "PM Modi will meet Pope Francis on October 30, says Church")
Prime Minister Narendra Modi will meet Pope Francis on October 30 during his European visit commencing later this week, a Catholic Bishops' body in Kerala said on Wednesday.

Describing it as a "historic meeting, the Cardinal said it will "add more energy and warmth to the relations between our country and the Vatican and the Catholic Church".
He also wished "all success" to the Prime Minister for all his events in Rome and Italy.
