Prime Minister of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan hopes that Armenia and Saudi Arabia will soon establish diplomatic relations.
“We’ve had contacts with Saudi Arabia in the past [few] years,” Pashinyan said at an online press conference when asked on relations with the country. “Our foreign ministers have met twice, phone calls have taken place, contacts have taken place during various multilateral working discussions. I think the process is advancing, and I hope that Armenia and Saudi Arabia will soon establish diplomatic relations, which would be a very important and significant event,” Pashinyan said.
Regarding the possibility of establishing diplomatic relations with Pakistan, which, like Saudi Arabia, does not recognize the Republic of Armenia, Pashinyan noted that the issue of establishing diplomatic relations with Pakistan would be gradually resolved along with the settlement of relations with Azerbaijan.
