Georgia’s PM to Meet Pope Leo XIV in Historic Vatican Visit

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze will travel to the Vatican later this year for a high-level diplomatic visit. The trip, scheduled for November 24, includes a meeting with Pope Leo XIV and aims to deepen ties between Georgia and the Holy See. Discussions will cover shared interests in culture, humanitarian work, and regional stability.

Kobakhidze’s visit continues a long-standing tradition of dialogue between Georgia and the Vatican. His delegation will feature key officials, including Foreign Minister Maka Bochorishvili, Culture Minister Tinatin Rukhadze, and Levan Zhorzholiani, Head of the Government Administration.

The meeting between Kobakhidze and Pope Leo XIV marks another step in Georgia’s engagement with the Holy See. Officials from both sides will explore ways to expand collaboration in diplomacy, culture, and humanitarian projects. The visit follows a pattern of regular exchanges aimed at strengthening mutual understanding.
