This is what the Vatican Foreign Minister Giovanni Laiolo, who arrived in Moscow on a visit, thinks so. "I think both sides are working to move towards full diplomatic relations," he said. There are embassies of the Holy See in all countries that have diplomatic relations with the Vatican, except for Russia and Palestine, where only representative offices are located. This level does not correspond either to the importance that the Vatican attaches to relations with Russia, or to the position that the Holy See occupies in the world, the ambassador explained.
