Vatican City, 3 February 2014 (VIS) –
Today, Pope Francis received the Head of State of the Independent

subsequently went on to meet with Archbishop Pietro Parolin,
secretary of State, accompanied by Archbishop Dominique Mamberti,
secretary for Relations with States.
During the cordial discussions, the
Parties focused on a number of aspects of the social and economic
