• Source: Apostolic Nunciature to Guinea

The Apostolic Nunciature to Guinea is the diplomatic mission of the Holy See to Guinea. The Apostolic Nuncio to Guinea is an ecclesiastical office of the Catholic Church in Guinea, with the rank of an ambassador. The nuncio serves both as the ambassador of the Holy See to the Republic of Guinea and as the point-of-contact between the Catholic hierarchy in Guinea and the pope.
In 1948, the Holy See established the Delegation to Dakar led by Marcel-François Lefebvre to represent its interests in French colonial Africa. Following the decolonization of the region, the title of that position was changed to Apostolic Delegate to Western Africa on 23 September 1960 and given responsibility for Senegal, Upper Volta, Côte d'Ivoire, Dahomey (Benin), Guinea, Mauritania, Niger, Sudan, Togo, Ghana, Gambia, and Sierra Leone. Over the next decade, as the Vatican established relationships with individual countries, country-specific offices were created, including the Delegations to Guinea, Togo, Mali, and Mauritania on 21 May 1973.
The Apostolic Nuncio to Guinea is usually also the Apostolic Nuncio to Mali upon his appointment to said nation.
