Vatican City: The new pope was seen saluting each of the cardinals who played a role in his election and is scheduled to dine with them later on Thursday. In a gesture of camaraderie and respect, he embraced every cardinal individually, according to the Vatican.
According to Ansa News Agency, this symbolic gesture underscores the unity and collaboration within the Vatican. The dinner planned for later in the evening is expected to further strengthen these bonds, providing an opportunity for the new pope and the cardinals to engage more intimately following the papal election.
