Pope will honor in this way the invitation addressed by President Klaus Iohannis last year when he went to the Vatican. The Pope then accepted the invitation, as announced by the Presidential Administration. Details of the visit will, however, be put in place through diplomatic channels.
This would be the second visit of a Vatican Pope to Romania, after the visit of Pope John Paul II in May 1999.
However, the visit’s details still needed to be negotiated on diplomatic channels.
