Upon graduation in 1991, he joined the diplomatic service of the Holy See.
His first assignment was at the Apostolic Nunciature in Tanzania, where he served for two years until in 1993 he returned to Rome to work in the First Section (for General Affairs) of the Secretariat of State of the Vatican. On December 17, 2002, he was appointed Assessor for General Affairs of the Secretariat of State.
