		</div><p>Pope Francis has arrived in Panama where he is to offer encouragement to young people gathered for World Youth Day 2019.</p>
<p>The pontiff’s plane touched down on Wednesday afternoon in the Panamanian capital.</p>
<p>He was met by President Juan Carlos Varela and first lady Lorena Castillo, who escorted him along a red carpet laid on the tarmac.</p>
<p>Spectators waved Panamanian flags in greeting and shouted: <em>“This is the youth of the pope!”</em></p>
<p>The pontiff told reporters travelling with him aboard the papal plane that he plans to go to Japan in November.</p>
<p>Francis had previously said he wanted to go, but this is the first confirmation that a trip will happen.</p>
<p>The pope also said he wants to visit Iraq, but that local church leaders have told him that the security situation is not yet right.</p>
<p>After Panama, the pontiff has scheduled trips to the United Arab Emirates, Morocco, Bulgaria and Macedonia.</p>
