Apostolic Nunciature to Korea

The Apostolic Nunciature to Korea (Latin: Nuntiatura Apostolica in Corea, Korean: 주한 교황청 대사관) is an ecclesiastical office of the Catholic Church in South Korea. It is a diplomatic post of the Holy See, whose representative is called the Apostolic Nuncio with the rank of an ambassador. The nuncio resides in Seoul.

Apostolic Nunciature to Korea

The Holy See consistently refers to Korea when making appointments, never South Korea or North Korea. The Holy See has no relationship with the government of North Korea; in 2018, North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's invitation to Pope Francis to visit North Korea was relayed through South Korean President Moon Jae-in.[1]

The Internunciature to Korea was created on 11 December 1963.[2] and made the Nunciature to Korea on 5 September 1966.[3]
