An office expressly devoted to the promotion of Vatican Radio’s programs to the radios based in Latin America operates inside Vatican Radio. This office has the main task to maintain and reinforce the cooperation between the broadcasting station of the Holy See and the Latin American broadcasters. It accomplishes its mission in various ways, for instance by means of a program called “Cadena de Amistad” in which foreign Latin American radios contribute to the realization of the program itself, making available contents and sharing ideas on different issues. On Vatican Radio’s website, in the section Radio4Radios, there are some programs devoted to the Latin American radios: this section replaces the CDs that have been mailed for many years to some broadcasters of Latin America by Vatican Radio.
A visit to some Latin American countries is yearly undertaken by the Head of this office to meet personally the representatives of the radios and of the local Churches.
