Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has sent a congratulatory message to Giuseppe Conte on being elected as President of the Council of Ministers of the Italian Republic, wishing him every success in leading his country to greater growth and prosperity. The message runs as follows:

“Armenia has always attached special importance to the strengthening of interstate relations with Italy based on deeply rooted close relationships, as well as on our shared spiritual-cultural values and development visions. I am more than confident that the wealth of mutual trust between our peoples will help us give fresh impetus to the ongoing high-level political dialogue, bilateral cooperation on different platforms and new achievements for the sake of our friendly nations.

We highly value Italy’s role in the context of evolving EU-Armenia relations. We are convinced that the EU-Armenia Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement will open up a wide range of opportunities to provide new content to the Armenian-Italian cooperation agenda.”
