Armenia will continue working to establish closer relations with EU member states, Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade Ararat Mirzoyan said on November 5 during a joint session of the National Assembly’s standing committees discussing the 2027 draft state budget.

As an example, Mirzoyan pointed to Armenia’s relations with the Netherlands, noting that the two countries had established a strategic partnership primarily on the basis of shared values. He added that these shared values were already producing tangible results in practice.
