Apostolic Nunciature to Pakistan
From Wikipedia - Reading time: 6 min
The Apostolic Nunciature to Pakistan is an ecclesiastical office of the Catholic Church in Pakistan. It is a diplomatic post of the Holy See, whose representative is called the Apostolic Nuncio with the rank of an ambassador.
The Nunciature was located in St. Anthony’s Parish (Karachi) in its Chancellery at old Clifton when the Vatican established diplomatic relations with Pakistan in 1950.[1] When the capital of Pakistan was moved to Islamabad in 1965, the Nunciature was re-located to the Diplomatic Enclave in Islamabad.
Following the partition of India and the formation of the independent nation of Pakistan in 1947, the Holy See established the Delegation to Pakistan on 15 July 1950[2] and named as first delegate James Cornelius van Miltenburg, Archbishop of Karachi.[3] On 9 October 1951, it erected in its place the Internunciature to Pakistan.[4] Pope Paul VI established the Apostolic Nunciature to Pakistan on 27 December 1965.[5]
