The patriarch will be represented by a delegation at the September meeting of world religious leaders.

Russian Orthodox Patriarch Kirill will not travel to Kazakhstan for the meeting of world religious leaders that Pope Francis is going to participate in; thus the pope and the patriarch will avoid a possible meeting and any implications it would have had in the current political context.
