Apostolic Nunciature to Madagascar
The Apostolic Nunciature to Madagascar is an ecclesiastical office of the Catholic Church in Madagascar. It is a diplomatic post of the Holy See, whose representative is called the Apostolic Nuncio with the rank of an ambassador. The nuncio resides in Antananarivo.
