Vatican: Visits Abroad

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Affairs, whether he plans to visit the Holy See.

Answered by Stephen Doughty

We continue to engage the Holy See regularly both bilaterally and in multilateral fora. The British Embassy to the Holy See supports ministerial and senior official visits from across the government including by Lord Khan, Minister for Faith, Communities and Resettlement, on 27-28 August. On 10 September the Foreign Secretary hosted a reception for the London Diplomatic Corps, which the Apostolic Nuncio, His Excellency Archbishop Miguel Maury Buendía, attended. I hope to visit the Holy See as soon as diaries allow.
