Summary
The Turkish Parliament Speaker, Numan Kurtulmus, will represent Turkiye at Pope Francis’ funeral this Saturday, with numerous global leaders, including US President Donald Trump and French President Emmanuel Macron, confirmed to attend. Pope Francis, who passed away at 88, was born in Argentina and became the first non-European Pope in nearly 1,300 years, known for his reform efforts within the Vatican. He had been hospitalized earlier this year due to bronchitis, which led to bilateral pneumonia before his death on Monday.
