VATICAN CITY: Pope Leo XIV will visit Turkiye and Lebanon next month on the first foreign trip of his papacy, the Vatican announced on Tuesday. The trip offers a symbolically important gesture to Christians and Muslims as a pilgrimage to two countries that the pope’s predecessor, Francis, had planned to visit. The Vatican said Leo will visit Turkiye from Nov. 27-30, and Lebanon from Nov. 30 to Dec. 2. The trip to Turkiye will include a pilgrimage to Iznik to mark the 1,700th anniversary of the Council of Nicea, Christianity’s first ecumenical council.
