Argentinian President cancels Pope meeting

Cristina Fernández de Kirchner was due to meet Pope Francis along with her Chilean counterpart to mark 30 years since a peace treaty was agreed between the two South American countries.

She and Michelle Bachelet had been invited to Rome by the Pontiff as a sign of better relations between them both.

"All activities programmed for the month of January are suspended, including the trip to the Vatican," Cabinet Chief Jorge Capitanich said.

Ms Fernández fractured her left ankle on Friday after slipping at home on a wet floor.

In the late 1970s Argentina and Chile almost went to war over a small cluster of islands but the dispute was resolved with the help of the Vatican.

A Monthly Gift Of $11 Makes A World Of Difference

In a world of fake news there’s never been a greater need for quality Christian journalism. Premier’s mission is to provide the Church with the most up to date and relevant news, told from a Christian perspective. But we can’t do it without you.

Unlike many websites we haven't put up a paywall — we want to keep our journalism free at the point of need and as open as we can. Premier’s news output takes a lot of time, money and hard work to produce. No one in the USA is sharing news like we are across radio, magazines and online so please help us to continue that today.

For a monthly gift of $11 or more we’d also be able to send you a free copy of the brand new Premier Bible, a wonderful Anglicised version of the NLT packed with exclusive bonus content, reading plan and resources to help you get the most out of scripture.

Your monthly support will make a world of difference. Thank you.
