Eduardo Vald\u00e9s is Argentina's new ambassador to the Holy See. He's already presented his credential letters to Pope Francis.<\/p>\n
Vald\u00e9s, who was accompanied by his entire family, is an Argentine politician, chief of staff of the Foreign Ministry between 2003 and 2005 .<\/p>\n
'He is my son Martin.\u00e2?\u009d
\n'I saw the other day at the audience.\u00e2?\u009d
\n'Yes, I gave you a soccer jersey.\u00e2?\u009d
\n'Go and give the Pope a kiss.\u00e2?\u009d<\/p>\n
Among the guests were the family of Alicia Oliveira, the judge who Pope Francis protected during the Argentinian dictatorship.<\/p>\n
'This is my godson.\u00e2?\u009d<\/p>\n
Even though it's no very common, the Vatican Secretary of State, Cardinal Pietro Parolin attended the reception after the meeting with the Pope.<\/p>\n
EDUARDO VALD\u00c9S
\nArgentinian Ambassador to the Holy See
\n'I would like to thank you, on behalf of all the Argentinians and Latino americans, the recent success in re-establishing diplomatic relations between Cuba and the U.S.\u00e2?\u009d<\/p>\n
CARD. PIETRO PAROLIN
\nVatican Secretary of State
\n'I want to wish you best luck with your mission. May it truly be a mission that help strengthen the friendship between the Holy See and Argentina, a mission that may promote peace and welfare in the world, that may help bring walls down, like Pope Francis says, and build bridges.\u00e2?\u009d<\/p>\n
JULI\u00ed\u0081N DOM\u00ed\u008dNGUEZ
\nPresident, Argentinian Chamber of Deputies
\n'On behalf of our President, I must remember that your he is the first Argentina's Ambassador to present his credential letter to an Argentinian and Latino American Pope. Something never seen before.\u00e2?\u009d<\/p>\n
It wasn't the first time Eduardo Vald\u00e9s met with the Pope. He was the person who took Maradona to Casa Santa Marta and introduced him to Pope Francis.<\/p>\n
Among his priorities, there's one that takes all his attention: having Pope Francis visit Argentina in 2015 or 2016.<\/p>\n
