The Grand Chancellor, Amb. Count Carlo Marullo di Condojanni, received the President of the Republic of Poland, Aleksander Kwasniewski and his wife on 9 April when they visited the Grand Magistry in Rome. Also present were the wife of the Grand Chancellor, Marchesa Ferreri dell'Anguilla, the respective ambassadors, members of the Sovereign Council and the Order's Foreign Secretary, Amb. Francesco Guariglia.

During his visit the President stressed the cordial cooperation, especially in the health sector, that binds the Polish nation and the Sovereign Order through the presence of members of the Order's Polish Association, Ambulance Corps and international bodies. The Grand Chancellor, in turn hoped for even closer ties of friendship and renewed efforts in the road towards "a greater peace, greater fraternity and greater wellbeing among all people on the earth". Bilateral negotiations for cooperation in the health sector will certainly follow this propitious meeting.
