Armenia stands today in the international arena as a reliable partner – FM Nalbandian

Foreign Minister of Armenia Edward Nalbandian delivered opening remarks during the reception held at the MFA Armenia on the occasion of the New Year and Christmas holidays. President Serzh Sargsyan and Ambassadors accredited in Armenia also attended the event. As ARMENPRESS was informed from the press service of the Ministry, FM Nalbandian said in his speech,

“Honourable Mr. President,
Ambassadors,
Dear colleagues and friends,

This year again the President of Armenia has honoured us with his high presence to celebrate together the upcoming New Year. The Ambassadors accredited to Armenia have also joined us.

I am confident that today are also with us the thoughts of the diplomats of the Republic of Armenia who serve overseas to their country with great dedication.

Not only in Armenia, but in many countries of the world there is a tradition to celebrate the New Year’s Eve among friends. Today we are gathered here with friends who are also united by the joint efforts to further strengthen Armenia’s friendly bonds in bilateral and multilateral relations.

During the passing year we have filled together many new pages in our foreign relations. In 2017 we marked the first quarter of a century of establishment of diplomatic relations of the newly independent Armenia with a number of countries and its membership to the international organizations.
