Vatican Diplomatic Colony Numbers 162 Persons

Since the representatives of South American countries have taken up residence in Vatican City—having moved from Rome when their countries broke off relations with Italy—the Vatican diplomatic colony now numbers 162 persons, including 17 families.
The latest to take up residence are the Ambassadors and other envoys to the Holy See from Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Cuba and Uruguay. The Minister of Venezuela is expected soon.
An apartment is being prepared for the Chinese representative, but, contrary, to recent rumours, it is not known when he will arrive to take up his post.
