Hundreds of state guests come to Rome for the official inauguration of Pope Leo. The Ukrainian President is also on the guest list of the Vatican. A special meeting is being worked on.
For the official inauguration of Pope Leo XIV, more than 150 delegations from all over the world are expected. As the Holy Stuhl announced, Ukrainian President Wolodymyr Selenskyj is also on the list of heads of state and government who have registered for Sunday for Sunday.
Germany will be represented at the service from 10 a.m. by Chancellor Friedrich Merz (CDU), Bundestag President Julia Klöckner (CDU) as well as the Federal Council Chairman and Saarland Prime Minister Anke Rehlinger (SPD). For Chancellor Merz, the new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney meets with the Italian capital of the Italian capital on Saturday evening and on Sunday morning.
Best places for Italians, Peruvians and US representatives
The representatives of Italy as well as Peru and the USA will sit at the front of the honor stands, since Leo also has the citizenships of the South and North American countries. The US delegation is led by Vice President JD Vance, and Foreign Minister Marco Rubio is also registered.
President Donald Trump had come to the Vatican for the funeral for Pope Francis. At that time there was a conversation with Selenskyj in St. Peter’s Basilica. Pictures of the two presidents went around the world on relatively simple chairs. At that time, Selenskyj spoke to Trump about the Russian attack war on his country, which had been going on for more than three years. High -ranking government officials from Moscow have now not been announced, but only Minister of Culture Olga Ljubimowa.
Does the Pope also hit JD vance?
On the edge of the fair there are again different meetings of state guests. According to the Vatican Cardinal State Secretary Pietro Parolin, an attempt is made to organize a bilateral conversation by the Pope with JD Vance. For Vance it is a quick return to Rome: at Easter he was the last top politician who had hit Francis before his death.
Leo XIV is the first Pontifex from the USA. On May 8, he was elected head of the Catholic Church with around 1.4 billion people.
