The Deputy Minister welcomed the newly-appointed Ambassador, and wished him success in his mission. While speaking about Armenia – UK relationship, the Deputy Minister asserted that Armenia attaches great importance to it, and intends to even deepen these relations.

During the meeting, the newly-appointed Ambassador, too, expressed his satisfaction with the active cooperation with the two countries, and assured that he would do his best to broaden the interaction.
