Pope arrives to meet Slovakian PM, parliament president

(13 Sep 2021) Pope Francis arrived on Monday at the Apostolic Nunciature in Bratislava where he will be joined by the Slovakian Prime Minister and other senior leaders.

Earlier in the day, Francis cracked jokes and took an ambling walk to greet well-wishers as he opened his first full day in Slovakia in good health and spirits ahead of a solemn encounter with the country’s Jewish community.

Francis arrived at the presidential palace, and later at the capital's St. Martin cathedral, looking rested and energized on the second day of his four-day pilgrimage to Hungary and Slovakia, which marks his first international outing since undergoing intestinal surgery in July.
