Vatican foreign minister makes first official visit to Pakistan

Archbishop Paul Richard Gallagher, the Vatican's secretary for relations with states, is on a three-day visit to Islamabad for talks with Pakistan's premier and foreign minister, and to meet the Catholic community. This is the first such high-level Vatican visit to Pakistan, signaling a diplomatic engagement that may carry implications for interfaith dialogue and minority rights in the country. The visit's outcomes remain uncertain, but it marks a notable step in bilateral relations.
