This America Magazine article reports that on 27 July 2023, following Vietnamese President Vo Van Thuong's audience with Pope Francis, the two sides reached the Agreement on the Status of the Resident Papal Representative, permitting the Holy See a resident representative and office in Hanoi for the first time since before 1975, a step the Vatican itself called short of full diplomatic relations, and names Archbishop Marek Zalewski, already nuncio to Singapore, as the representative later appointed that December.
