In his first "Urbi et Orbi" (to the city and the world) message, Francis also called for peace between Israelis and Palestinians, an end to the civil war in Syria, and political solutions to conflicts in several African countries.
The former Cardinal Jorge Bergoglio of Argentina, who has made defense of nature an early hallmark of his pontificate, also condemned the "iniquitous exploitation of natural resources" and urged everyone to be "guardians" of creation.
Francis delivered his message from the central balcony of St. Peter's Basilica - the same spot from where he first appeared to the world as pope after his election on March 13 - to a crowd estimated by the Vatican at least 250,000 people.
"Peace in Asia, above all on the Korean peninsula: may disagreements be overcome and a renewed spirit of reconciliation grow," he said, speaking in Italian.
North Korea said on Saturday it was entering a "state of war" with South Korea. Tensions have been high since the North's new young leader Kim Jong-un ordered a third nuclear weapons test in February, breaching U.N. sanctions and ignoring warnings from North Korea's sole major ally, China, not to do so.
Francis, who has brought a more simple and personal style to the papacy, said the message of Easter is that faith can help people transform their lives by letting "those desert places in our hearts bloom".

I am pleased at the news because I also do long for the reunificaion of South and North Korea and World peace.
The news recalled someone who work for the world peace to my mind.
So, I'd like to introduce him. He is Man Hee Lee, peace leader.
Many people awarded the Nobel Peace Prize and worked for the world peace, but yet this world is wars continue.
However, I believe that peace leader Man Hee Lee have confidence for peace.
How can he be sure that the world peace is possible?
He said, "The Bible contains God’s will. World peace and the restoration of light will
come if the work is done in accordance to the Bible. This is the promised
restoration that is recorded in the Bible, and thus religious unification and
world peace will be achieved."
There are approximately 200 different races, and approximately 5,000 languages in the world. There are also many different religions. This is the reality of the global community. Although religious people all say they believe in the one true God, they all have different ways of believing, and it is mainly due to these religious differences that conflicts occur around the world. Conflicts also occur due to power struggles. Regardless of who you are, in order for this world to attain peace and the restoration of light, you must be born again through the seed and spirit of God. For this, all religions must become one through one truth.
Who will do this work? God. God proclaims to the whole world what He will fulfill (prophecy), and once it has been preached throughout the whole world, God appoints the promised messenger, the one who speaks on behalf. Then, at the time of Jesus’ second coming, which is today, God fulfills the promises of the New Testament. God shows the fulfillment to the chosen messenger who speaks on behalf, and it is made known to the churches.
The churches that hear this message must verify the New Testament fulfillment and believe it in order to be the family of God, and through this all religions will be unified.
Next, the religious people who became one with the Holy Spirit will renew the world, which has been corrupted due to religion. This will be accomplished through the unprecedented culture of heaven. What is the culture of heaven that helps establish world peace and the restoration of light?
What was shown in the World Peace Festival: On September 16, 2012, Shinchonji, Church of Jesus, and MANNAM Volunteer Association (International Department) came together and united to present a cultural and sports Celebration of Restoring Light. It showed the heavenly culture that will end war on this earth and achieve world peace.
each country has already received the video clips of the culture of heaven, which can achieve world peace and the restoration of light. All people would like to see and experience world peace. The whole world should unite together for the work of world peace and the restoration of light through the culture of heaven, which God is with and has promised.
World peace and the restoration of light is the only way to resolve the unjust death of young people in war, and it will become the food for their spirits.
