Pope Leo Algeria Visit

The visit comes at a time when Algiers is increasingly isolated on the world stage and seeks to improve its international standing.

During a recent vigil for peace, the Pope denounced the 'delusion of omnipotence' fueling the US-Israel war on Iran and urged world leaders to negotiate.

The Algerian government has expressed hope that the visit will strengthen cultural ties and promote regional stability.

The Pope is also expected to visit Vietnam in the near future following an official invitation.
