Vatican City, 30 June 2014 (VIS) –
Today in the Vatican Apostolic Palace Pope Francis received in
audience Their Majesties King Felipe VI and Queen Letizia of Spain,
who subsequently met with Cardinal Secretary of State Pietro Parolin,
accompanied by Mgsr. Antoine Camilleri, under-secretary for Relations
with States.
During the cordial discussions,
satisfaction was expressed for today’s visit, their first trip
abroad as reigning monarchs, which follows the recent visit by King
Juan Carlos I and Queen Sofia on 28 April. It is hoped that this may
mark the strengthening of the existing good relations between the
Holy See and Spain.
The conversation focused on themes of
common interest and the importance of promoting dialogue and
collaboration between the Church and the State for the good of all
Spanish society. Finally, mention was made of various problems of an
international and regional nature, paying particular attention to
areas of conflict.
