00:01As he wrapped up his first international trip as Pope, Leo XIV was already looking ahead to the next one, saying he hopes to visit Africa in 2026.
00:14Leo singled out Algeria, where he says he would like to see the places from the life of Saint Augustine.
00:21Such a visit would help to continue the discourse of dialogue and bridge-building between the Christian and the Muslim worlds, Leo said, as Augustine is still a respected figure in the mainly Muslim country.
