Diplomatic post of the Holy See
Diplomatic mission
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 .
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]
The Apostolic Nuncio to South Korea is usually also the Apostolic Nuncio to Mongolia upon his appointment to said nation.
