“Distinguished Diplomats,

I congratulate you on the occasion of Armenian Republic’s Diplomat’s Day.

“Armenian diplomacy has had serious achievements during the 25 years of independence. This is evidenced by the establishment of diplomatic relations with around 160 countries over the years, the membership of 90 international organizations; signing of around 2000 international treaties and agreements. It is the result of efforts and hard work of Armenian diplomats, working in 60 representative offices of Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs and abroad.

Armenia’s balanced foreign policy finds broad understanding in the international arena, which will enable to find solutions to the problems facing Armenia and contribute to our national interests.

Last year, the high level of holding events dedicated to the 100th anniversary of the Armenian Genocide in dozens of countries became possible also thanks to the efforts of Armenian diplomats. We witnessed many manifestations of solidarity with the Armenian people, which is the regular step in the prevention of such crimes in the future.

It is symbolical that we celebrate the Diplomat’s Day in a new building which was designed and built, taking into account the labor and representative peculiarities of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. I am sure that new creative ideas and initiatives will rise here which will make us closer to the realization of the goals of our state and nation.

I am confident you will continue your selfless service for the sake of our country’s secure and prosperous future.

Once again congratulating you on the occasion of Diplomat’s Day, I wish you further success in your patriotic work.
