Pope Francis is set to meet Hungary's populist Prime Minister Viktor Orban during a short stop in the capital Budapest, APA reports citing BBC.
The meeting is expected to highlight differences between the pontiff's views and Mr Orban's nationalist and anti-immigrant policies.
The Pope will then spend three days in Slovakia, where he will meet members of the Jewish and Roma communities.
It is his first international trip since surgery earlier this year.
The Pope has previously criticised political leaders who tried to erect barriers to keep migrants out, and in 2019 donated money to help migrants in Mexico seeking to reach the US border.
In Budapest the Pope will also take Mass as part of a week-long Catholic event in the city.
