Pope appoints new Apostolic Nuncio to India, Nepal
Pope Francis on Saturday appointed a new Apostolic Nuncio to India and Nepal.
Italian Archbishop Giambattista Diquattro, the Apostolic Nuncio to Bolivia, will
now be the Holy See’s ambassador to India and Nepal. The 62-year-old prelate takes
over from Archbishop Salvatore Pennacchio, whom Pope Francis transferred to Poland
as Apostolic Nuncio in August last year. The Apostolic Nunciature to India and
Nepal is based in the Indian capital New Delhi.
Born in Bologna 1954, Arch. Diquattro was ordained a priest for Ragusa Diocese in
1981. He was appointed Apostolic Nuncio to Panama in April, 2005 and was ordained
a bishop two months later. He was transferred to Bolivia as Apostolic Nuncio in
November, 2008, where he has served until now.
