My visit to the Russian Russia is scheduled for April. We are currently at the preparatory phase for that visit. Everything should be done so that this visit is held at a high level and with rich content. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan stated this at Thursday’s Cabinet meeting of the government of Armenia.

Reflecting on his recent visit to France, he said. "Last night we returned, with the delegation, from the French capital where we participated in the Armenian-French forum organized jointly with the French government—dedicated to the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our countries.

I believe [that] by using that forum, we must now give a new impetus to the economic cooperation between France and Armenia—and not only to economic cooperation (…). I mean, we had a multi-layered agenda. We need to focus on the implementation of that agenda, as well as work to intensify economic ties."

Also, the Armenian PM highlighted the role of France as a co-chairing country of the OSCE Minsk Group.

"I had the opportunity to also meet with EU Council President Charles Michel, where, among others, the matters of EU-Armenia cooperation were also discussed. And we discussed how to continue the implementation of our joint projects more effectively. In general, the visit was successful," Pashinyan said.
