Vatican Relations refer to the diplomatic and political interactions between the Vatican City and other countries or international organizations. The Holy See, which represents the spiritual and administrative leadership of the Roman Catholic Church, engages in these relations to promote peace, social justice, and religious freedom worldwide. The Vatican maintains formal diplomatic ties with many nations, allowing it to influence global issues such as human rights, poverty, and conflict resolution. Through its embassies, known as nunciatures, the Vatican fosters dialogue and cooperation, aiming to address both spiritual and temporal concerns in various regions.
