We warmly congratulate His Holiness Leo XIV on becoming the Pope and head of the Catholic Church.

Millions in Europe draw inspiration from the Churchs steadfast commitment to peace, human dignity, and mutual understanding.

Pope Leo XIV is expected to use his global influence to promote these shared values and encourage unity for a more just and compassionate world.

The European Union is prepared to collaborate closely with the Holy See to tackle global challenges and foster solidarity, respect, and kindness.

We wish for Pope Leo XIVs leadership to be guided by wisdom and strength as he leads the Catholic community, inspiring the world through peace and dialogue.
