Pope Leo XIV holds first news conference on Monday where he will receive questions from international journalists.
The Pope is expected to address several hundred journalists who have been reporting from the Vatican since the death of his predecessor, Pope Francis, last month.
The new pontiff, formerly Cardinal Robert Francis Prevost of Chicago, was elected on Thursday as the head of the Roman Catholic Church and its 1.4 billion followers worldwide.
The question-and-answer session may offer insights into how he intends to lead the Church and the key issues he plans to prioritise.
At 69, Pope Leo XIV is the first pope from the United States and the second from the Americas, following Pope Francis.
His inauguration Mass is scheduled to take place on Sunday in St. Peter’s Square.
