Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan of Armenia sent a congratulatory message to Rishi Sunak on assuming the positions of Prime Minister of the United Kingdom and the leader of the Conservative Party of the UK. The message reads as follows, in particular:

"This year, the Republic of Armenia and the United Kingdom mark the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations, which is a good opportunity to discover the unrealized potential between our countries and outline new directions for cooperation.

Armenia attaches great importance to the further development and deepening of cooperation with the United Kingdom, based on a common value system and practical interests.

Despite serious security challenges, Armenia continues to steadily implement democratic reforms, and in this context we highly appreciate the support of the government of the United Kingdom. I sincerely hope that during your tenure, the Armenian-British relations will get a new impetus and quality, for the benefit of the prosperity of our countries and the welfare of our friendly peoples.”
