Cardinal Parolin, Secretary of State of the Holy See, delivers a video message to the peace program meeting in Malta. He reiterated that war cannot resolve conflicts, and the Holy See called for “respect for international law, especially territorial integrity” and for humanitarian action to return captives and children to their homes.
(Vatican News Network) From October 28 to 29, the Peace Plan Conference was held in Malta. Cardinal Parolin, Secretary of State of the Holy See, took this opportunity to issue a video message to representatives from more than 65 countries. The meeting was held at the request of Ukrainian President Zelensky.
Cardinal Parolin stressed that the meeting taking place today is a mark of a “laudable effort” that has been reflected in various meetings since the G20 proposed to hold it in Malta in mid-November last year. This is an encouraging fact and shows that a contest of force cannot be seen as “the inevitable way to resolve the conflict.” On a global scale, one should not surrender to the facts of this tragedy, and finding a solution is not only “Ukraine’s responsibility” but also a “shared responsibility”.
The Holy See Secretary of State then called for “greater and more creative” efforts “at all levels” to open up paths that “do not currently seem acceptable or possible” and to join forces with the actions being implemented by many international institutions “to It guarantees that “Ukraine will defend its territorial integrity, ensure the security and daily necessities of its citizens, and achieve the peace it longs for.”
Finally, Cardinal Parolin reiterated the Holy See’s call for “respect for international law, especially territorial integrity,” and for humanitarian support “such as food security and the protection of the natural environment,” especially the return of “captives and children to Ukraine.” .
