Ambassador Lee accompanied the two Taiwanese officials to pay a visit to Msgr. Gian Pietro Dal Toso, Secretary of the Pontifical Council “Cor Unum”. During the meeting, Msgr. Dal Toso explained that the future merging of four dicasteries into one, including his, will help to better handle refugee issues, as refugee problems are closely connected with humanitarian relief.
