Vatican
City, 5 February 2013
(VIS) – Yesterday afternoon the Pope and the President of the
Italian Republic Giorgio Napolitano met in one of the rooms adjoining
the Paul VI Audience Hall before attending a concert offered to the
Pope by the Italian Embassy to the Holy See in celebration of the
84th anniversary of the Lateran Accords.
The
discussion, which lasted around 20 minutes, was particularly intense,
given that it touched upon the approaching end of the president's
seven-year term, which has been characterized by a great mutual
esteem and by always cordial meetings on the part of both sides, as a
statement from the Holy See Press Office reports.
In
the conversation, the Pope expressed his attention on and
participation in the important events that are awaiting the Italian
people. They also spoke about major themes of the international
situation, particularly the concern for peace in the most troubled
areas of the world such as the Middle East and Africa..
