The Vatican confirmed its cordial relations with the US during a meeting involving Vice President JD Vance and top diplomats. They discussed global conflicts, migration, and humanitarian issues, particularly focusing on the plight of migrants and refugees. The talks came months after Pope Francis criticized the US administration's hardline immigration policies. The Vatican emphasized the importance of protecting freedom of religion. Despite hopes for a meeting with the Pope, no such encounter was reported, although the Vatican acknowledged the US Catholic Church's commitment to vulnerable populations.
The two sides also stressed the common commitment to protect the right to freedom of religion and conscience, the Vatican said.
There was an exchange of opinions on the international situation, especially regarding countries affected by war, political tensions and difficult humanitarian situations.
