The meeting will be held on November 28 in Rome, and both political leaders with thank the Vatican for the “role” they played in getting the treaty underway.

Towards the end of 1978, Chile and Argentina almost went to war over territorial issues, but then-Pope John Paul II intervened, which led to the signing of the treaty.
