Foreign Affairs Minister George Vella thanked the Vatican’s Charge d’Affairs, Filippo Calnago, for the invitation sent to the Maltese Government to attend Tuesday’s papal ordination ceremony.

During a meeting at the ministry in Valletta, Mgr Calnago congratulated Dr Vella on his new appointment as minister. Dr Vella thanked him for the invite, sent by the Vatican to the Maltese government, and said it was still not clear who will be attending.

Mgr Calnago said it would be ideal if both the President and the Prime Minister could attend the ceremony.
