[HIGHLIGHTS] Vatican: first face-to-face meeting between the Argentine president and his compatriot, Pope Francis

Argentine President Javier Milei arrived in Vatican City after his visit to Israel. He attended this Sunday, February 11, the canonization of Mama Antula, who became the first Argentine saint.

This first face to face marks a step in an uncertain relationship between the two men. The Argentine president is making his first official visit to Rome two months after taking office. He stood up as the pope  – in a wheelchair due to his difficulty moving – entered the basilica, at the start of the ceremony.
