History

The Holy See has only maintained a diplomatic legation in Monaco since 2006. The appointment of a papal diplomatic representative to the Principality was subsequent to the revision of Monaco's treaty with France which was revised in 2002 and ratified in 2005.

This revised treaty granted the Principality the sovereign prerogative of establishing formal diplomatic relations with other sovereign states at the highest diplomatic level, that of ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary—for the Holy See this means at the level of nuncio, i.e., that of an apostolic nunciatures headed by an apostolic nuncio (apostolic nuncios normally hold the ecclesiastical rank of archbishop).

The first apostolic nuncio to represent the Holy See to Monaco, with residence and coterminous accreditation to the EU in Brussels, was Archbishop André Dupuy.
