Apostolic Nunciature to United Arab Emirates
The Apostolic Nunciature to United Arab Emirates is an ecclesiastical office of the Catholic Church in United Arab Emirates. It is a diplomatic post of the Holy See, whose representative is called the Apostolic Nuncio with the rank of an ambassador. The Apostolic Nuncio to United Arab Emirates is also the Apostolic Nuncio to Kuwait and resides in Kuwait City.
Before the Holy See and United Arab Emirates established diplomatic relations, the Holy See represented its interests in United Arab Emirates through delegations with regional responsibilities, first the Apostolic Delegation to the Red Sea Region established by Pope Paul VI on 3 July 1969[1] and then the Apostolic Delegation to the Arabian Peninsula established by Pope John Paul II on 26 March 1992.[2] The Holy See and United Arab Emirates established diplomatic relations on 31 May 2007.[3]
The Holy See inaugurated the offices of its nunciature in Abu Dhabi on 4 February 2022.[4]
