At the G20 summit in St. Petersburg - the traditional meeting that brings together the 20 leaders of the earth - Francis Pope has sent a letter to the current President of the meeting, Vladimir Putin, in order not to take military action in Syria. On 2 and 3 September, Rome and Brussels, an Appeal to President Obama, which was supported by institutions in several countries, was launched by the Fondazione Mediterraneo. The St. Petersburg summit did not give a positive result on this topic and the positions of the U.S. and Russia are far apart.
On the occasion of the appointment by Pope Francis, as Secretary of State Archbishop Monsignor Pietro Parolin - already Apostolic Nuncio to Venezuela - President Capasso High Prelate sent a warm message of congratulations, remembering the past and collaborations that occurred such as the session on Interfaith Dialogue held in Rome in March 2009.
