The meeting will take place in the Apostolic Palace of the Vatican and will also serve to inform the Pontiff about the region's preparations for his upcoming visit, scheduled between June 6 and 9.

During the audience, Díaz Ayuso will also present the Pope with a special book featuring images of Christmas and Easter celebrations in various Madrid municipalities. As part of the gift, typical regional products will be included, such as pastries from Morata de Tajuña, olives from Campo Real, and sponge cakes from San Lorenzo del Escorial.

After the Pontiff's visit to Madrid was announced, the Madrid president emphasized that it would be an opportunity to showcase "the way of life, respect, and faith that is breathed in the region," and expressed her hope that the Pope would take "the best memory" of his stay.
