Argentine President Javier Milei will be received by Pope Leo XIV on June 6 at the Vatican. This will be the new pontiff's first official audience with a Latin American head of state since his election on May 8.
The meeting aims to pay tribute to Pope Emeritus Francis, analyze the global situation, and establish a personal relationship with the head of the Catholic Church.
Key topics on the agenda
During the meeting, Milei will present his economic adjustment plan and explain the geopolitical reasons behind his closeness to the United States and Israel.
Additionally, he will formally request that Leo XIV visit Argentina as Supreme Pontiff, highlighting that the Pope, before succeeding Francis, traveled throughout the country as a cardinal and now wishes to return as leader of the Church.
