A good, friendly group was formed, which works effectively.
We had mutual visits, even at the level of executive power. Your foreign minister visited Luxembourg a few months ago, and we had an excellent discussion with him. In the Parliament of Luxembourg, we often talk about Armenia because Armenia is an important country for us,” he said.
