Vatican
City, 23 January 2013 (VIS) – According to information made public
by the Press Office of the Holy See today, on Monday, 21 January, at
the headquarters of the Central American Integration System (SICA) in
San Salvador, El Salvador, an agreement was signed between the Holy
See and SICA that makes the Holy See an extra-regional observer of
that organization. The signatories were, for the Holy See, Archbishop
Luigi Pezzuto, apostolic nuncio to El Salvador and, for SICA, Juan
Daniel Aleman, secretary general of SICA. Many ambassadors to the
nations of the South American continent attended the ceremony.
Previously,
the Ordinary Summit of heads of state and government of the countries
of SICA, which took place in Managua, Nicaragua, this past December,
had welcomed the Holy See's interest in participating in SICA as an
extra-regional observer owing to the contribution that the Holy See
and the Catholic Church offer to development in the social, cultural,
and educational sectors as well as those of human rights and
democratic security.
