On his schedule, Lula planned to meet the new Pope, Leo XIV. They met on Monday morning in Rome. It was a quick meeting. The First Lady, Janja da Silva, was also there with Lula.
The meeting was very private. No reporters were there. Only the leaders from the Vatican and Brazil, and some helpers, were in the room. We have pictures of them together.
It is likely that Lula invited Pope Leo XIV to a big climate meeting called COP30. Last week, Minister Marina Silva also invited the Pope when she was at the Vatican. We will get more news about this visit later from our reporter, Cíntia Rodrigues. The meeting shows that Brazil wants to work with other world leaders on important topics like food and the environment. Everyone is waiting to see if the Pope will accept the invitation to come to Brazil for the event.
