Pope Francis arrived at the Ulaanbaatar International Airport after his last public event in Mongolia—blessing and inaugurating the House of Mercy.
On the tarmac, the Pope was greeted by the country's Minister of Foreign Affairs, representing the government. He met with her minutes earlier in a private meeting at the airport for the farewell ceremony.
Also present at the foot of the plane was Cardinal Giorgio Marengo, who accompanied the Pope throughout the five day trip. Pope Francis' flight took off at 12:03 Mongolian time (6:03 Rome time).
