-'It's a great pleasure.'
-'Welcome.'
-'Thank you very much.'
The Head of the Government of the Principality of Andorra, Xavier Espot Zamora, 42, visited Pope Francis at the Vatican.
Andorra is a micro-state along the border between Spain and France. The president of France and the bishop of Urgell, a Spanish diocese, act as co-princes of the state.
Mr. Xavier Espot Zamora gave the Pope a facsimile of a historical document from 1419 and a book written in 1748, both important in Andorra's history.
-'And it also confirms our country's Christian roots.'
Pope Francis, in turn, gave the state leader a mosaic representing the abundance of the earth and the work of man.
-'Both things, no? The Earth which gives, and humanity which works. This is like a drink that makes us stronger.'
During the meeting, according to the Vatican “attention turned to important issues affecting Andorran society, including the phenomenon of migration.”
