Mirzoyan noted in his speech, “We, understandably, attach great importance to relations with our neighbor and friend Iran. In essence, for us, they are strategic relations. And it is no coincidence that President Pezeshkian and Prime Minister Pashinyan agreed to officially raise our relations to the level of strategic partnership this, already this, year.”

The RA Foreign Minister emphasized the Republic of Armenia’s clear position that infrastructure unblocking will occur within the framework of fundamental principles.
