Vatican dismisses reports of relocation embassy from Kuwait to Bahrain   

Kuwait News Agency - 13 August, 2012

The Vatican Embassy in Kuwait Sunday dismissed reports that it was relocating headquarters from Kuwait to Bahrain.

The Embassy of the Vatican "is not transferring its present location in Kuwait to another within the Gulf region," the embassy said in a statement.

But for logistical and pastoral reasons, the Apostolic Vicar of Northern Arabia, Messenger Camillo Ballin, the local Bishop in charge of the Catholic Church in Kuwait "will be moving the scat of the local Apostolic Vicariate of Northern Arabia to Manama, Bahrain, while maintaining his residence in Kuwait, " said the embassy.

Messenger Camillo Ballin has been in charge of Bahrain, Qatar and Saudi Arabia since May 31, 2011.

The Embassy recalled the good ties and mutual relations that exist between the Holy See and the State of Kuwait, the first country in the entire Arabian Gulf region to establish diplomatic relations with the Holy See.
