Vatican City, 15 June 2015 (VIS) –
Today in the Vatican Apostolic Palace the Holy Father received in
audience the president of the Republic of Colombia, Juan Manuel
Santos Calderon, who subsequently met with Cardinal Secretary of
State Pietro Parolin and Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher, secretary
for Relations with States.
During the cordial discussions the good
relations between the Holy See and the Republic of Colombia were
evoked, underlining the contribution the Catholic Church has given
and continues to guarantee in favour of the human, social and
cultural progress of the population. Among the issues considered,
special attention was given to the state of the reconciliation
process in the country, the complexity of the negotiations that this
entails, and the prospects that could open the way to achieving a
peace agreement.
Finally, there was an exchange of views
on the regional political and social situation, with attention to the
efforts made towards promoting stability in the countries of the
area, their harmonious and equitable development, and a culture of
legality.
