In July 2025, at the invitation of our Grand Master of the Order of the Temple of Jerusalem (OTJ), a meeting of the Commanders of the Diplomatic Corps with the Grand Master and the Dean of the Corps took place.
This meeting was of strategic importance. Among the topics discussed were the Commandery's international activities, particularly the immediate plans for cooperation with the Vatican following the election of the new Pope, as well as the coordination of the Commandery's work within the structures of the Grand Magisterium.
