WATCH: Pope Leo’s First Trip Abroad: Key Talks in Ankara & Major Moments in Istanbul

Pope Leo has embarked on a historic first trip outside Italy, landing in Ankara for a high-stakes diplomatic and interfaith visit across Turkey.

On day one, he held a bilateral meeting with President Recep Tayyip Erdoğan, discussing regional stability, migration, religious coexistence, and Turkey–Vatican relations. He also paid tribute at Ankara’s Atatürk Mausoleum.
The Pope later travelled to Istanbul, where he sat down with Orthodox and Syriac Christian leaders to strengthen dialogue among Christian communities. Huge crowds gathered as he visited Istanbul’s Syriac Church and the historic Blue Mosque.

Tourists and residents lined the streets hoping to catch a glimpse of the pontiff as he toured major cultural and religious sites, marking one of the most closely watched papal trips in recent years.

04:59we pray that we may be aware of his presence among us.

05:29A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew.

05:39The significant presence of migrants and refugees in this country

05:45presents the church with the challenge of welcoming and serving some of the most vulnerable.

05:51At the same time, this church itself is made up largely of foreigners

05:58and many of you, priests, sisters, and pastoral workers, come from other lands.

06:04This calls for a special commitment to enculturation

06:08so that the language, customs, and culture of Turkiye become more and more your own.

06:19I would also like to recall that it was in this land of yours

06:24that the first eight ecumenical councils were held.

06:28This year marks the 1700th anniversary of the First Council of Nicaea,

06:35a milestone in the history of the church, but also of humanity as a whole.

06:40The city of the Church and the Church, which is a durian and провод for the first battle,

06:46where the church is really strong and flexible and sustainable.

06:48The first of the church is to drink.

06:50The first of the church is to drink.

06:52The most famous people, the most famous people,

06:55the most famous people,

06:56and the most famous people who have been living in the life.

07:02The first of the church is to drink.

08:50country of course a beautiful city here and found out that the pope was going to be in town so

08:55thought we'd take advantage as he is the first american pope uh so i thought that was exciting

09:00i wanted to make sure that we come and catch a glimpse of him

09:10i think that's fantastic you know of course it's important to have world peace uh with all the

09:23wars going on and so it just is just him extending that hand across to the different religions of

09:30course and hopefully making sure that peace eventually will come to everyone as everyone

09:36deserves peace in this uh on this uh place it has a it's a very symbolic um act for from the pope

09:52to engage something i think with the muslim population and that's why also that he choose

09:59a turkey right also for the anniversary of his nick when nicey a council but yeah i think it's a it's

10:07a great thing and it's very strong because we are living a moment with the pope i mean we are not with

10:20him shaking hands or like that but it's to have our chief because we are catholic and this is our chief

10:28and i think yes we are not seeing him but it's a spiritual strong moment at the same place
