Buenos Aires, Nov 6 (Prensa Latina) The Latin American and Caribbean Confederation of State Workers (CLATE) welcomes Pope Leo XIV's visit to three countries in the region: Uruguay, where he arrives, Argentina, and Peru.

The Supreme Pontiff is being welcomed in Montevideo, marking the start of his first apostolic tour in South America, until November 17, when he will return to Rome.

Upon confirming his departure on social media, the Pope stated: “I entrust myself to your prayers, so that this journey may strengthen faith, renew hope, rekindle the fire of charity, and serve as an impetus to continue proclaiming the Gospel with joy.”

The head of the Vatican City will be in Uruguay from this Friday to November 8, when he will fly to Buenos Aires for the first papal visit to Argentina in more than 40 years. He will remain there until November 11, before traveling to Peru, where he will stay until November 17.

As part of a joint effort between the Catholic Church and public-sector labor unions, CLATE hosted the launch of the training program “Work, Dignity, and Social Justice” in Buenos Aires on October 14.

The Latin American and Caribbean Front of Public Sector Unions, including CLATE, Public Services International, and the International Union of Trade Unions, boosted the project.
