The Apostolic Nunciature to Sudan is an ecclesiastical office of the Catholic Church in Sudan. It is a diplomatic post of the Holy See, whose representative is called the Apostolic Nuncio with the rank of an ambassador.
The Apostolic Nunciature to Sudan was established in 1972.[1] It had previously been overseen by a variety of delegations with regional authority, the last of which were the Delegation to Eastern Africa erected in 1960[2] and the Delegation to the Red Sea Region.
Since 31 March 2020, the position of Apostolic Nuncio to both Sudan and Eritrea has been held by Monsignor Luis Miguel Munoz Cardaba of Spain.[3]
