During an audience in the Apostolic Palace, His Holiness Pope Francis addressed the President of the Swiss Confederation, Alain Berset. The Pontiff highlighted the loyalty of the Swiss Guards, who surround him so professionally. The information came in a communiqué released by the Holy See Press Office.
The Pontiff also expressed his hope for an ever-growing collaboration on numerous interests shared by the Catholic Church and Switzerland. Reference was then made to the active commitment on both sides at European and International levels, in achieving a more fraternal society, in promoting justice and peace, in expressing the importance of multilateralism and in protecting humanitarian law.
Both sides then focused on applying these topics to certain current themes, ranging from migration, to conflict mediation, nuclear disarmament and human trafficking.
