CWN Editor's Note: Pope Leo XIV received Guatemalan President Bernardo Arévalo on October 11.

“We discussed the important role of our institutions in building a more just and supportive Guatemala,” the president said following the audience. “One of the topics highlighted during the meeting was the fight against corruption—a fundamental commitment of my government—as well as the major challenges we face in migration and the search for solutions to poverty.”

“I have officially invited him to visit Guatemala,” added the president, “and I thank the Holy Father for receiving this invitation and expressing his interest in this visit.”
