The Holy See “will not participate in the Board of Peace because of its particular nature, which is evidently not that of other States.”

Axar.az informs, citing Vatican news, this is the position expressed by Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin.

In response to journalists’ questions about Italy’s participation as an observer in the Board of Peace, Cardinal Parolin pointed out that “there are points that leave us somewhat perplexed. There are some critical points that would need to find explanations.

The important thing,” the Cardinal added, “is that an attempt is being made to provide a response. However, for us there are certain critical issues that should be resolved.”

“One concern,” the Vatican Secretary of State explained, “is that at the international level it should above all be the UN that manages these crisis situations. This is one of the points on which we have insisted.”
