Apostolic Nunciature to Djibouti
The Apostolic Nunciature to Djibouti is an ecclesiastical office of the Catholic Church in Djibouti. It is a diplomatic post of the Holy See, whose representative is called the Apostolic Nuncio with the rank of an ambassador. The Nuncio resides in Ethiopia and usually holds the title Apostolic Nuncio to Ethiopia as well.
Pope John Paul II established the Apostolic Delegation to Djibouti on 26 March 1992 as part of a broader reorganization of its representation in the region.[1] The Holy See's interests in the region was previously the responsibility of the Apostolic Delegation to the Red Sea Region.[2][a]
