This was the first official visit of a Russian leader to the Vatican since establishment of full-format diplomatic relations.

The discussion focused on prospects for humanitarian, social, scientific, educational and cultural cooperation. Besides, the parties reviewed opportunities for promoting dialogue among confessions.
