Pope Leo XIV has arrived in Lebanon for a two-day trip where he is expected to bring a message of peace, an AFP journalist aboard the plane says.
The American pontiff lands in Beirut from Turkey and is set to meet Lebanon’s President Joseph Aoun, the Arab world’s only Christian head of state, and deliver a speech to authorities and diplomats at the presidential palace this afternoon.
