Beijing hailed on Thursday improving ties with the Vatican after the first appointment of a Chinese bishop under Pope Leo XIV, signaling the new pontiff's support for a controversial accord on nominations struck by his predecessor.

The Holy See expressed "satisfaction" on Wednesday at the recognition by China of the appointment of Joseph Lin Yuntuan as auxiliary bishop of Fuzhou, capital of eastern Fujian province. The pope made the nomination on June 5.

Beijing's foreign ministry said the naming of the first Chinese bishop under the new pope had "enhanced understanding and mutual trust through constructive dialogue" with the Vatican.
