French President Emmanuel Macron has invited Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to Paris on March 9 to participate in a meeting on French-Armenian cooperation.
Macron made the remarks in a message sent to Pashinyan to mark the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between France and Armenia.
"I am glad that our political, cultural and economic contacts continue to be further strengthened due to the adoption of the roadmap for economic cooperation, the provision of vaccine doses to assist Armenia in the fight against the epidemic crisis, as well as the recent establishment of the French Institute in Armenia," Macron said.
"This platform of dialogue, which aims to resolutely guide to the future, will unite French and Armenian high-ranking officials, local governments, enterprises, associations, as well as many individuals from various walks of life. It will give an opportunity to all those who bring our cultural, scientific-economic relations to life, to outline long-term structural projects to promote the sustainable development and prosperity of Armenia, with a special emphasis on the youth of your country. I will be glad to receive you in Paris on this occasion to mark the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our two countries."
Macron said Armenia can rely on the decisive mobilization of France, both bilaterally and within the OSCE Minsk Group co-chairmanship, to achieve the adoption and implementation of de-escalation measures for the lasting settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
"You can be confident that France will be fully committed to strengthening our partnership in the coming years to meet the many challenges of the modern world," he added.
