YEREVAN.- During a state dinner hosted by Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in honor of Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, the Armenian Premier presented socks as a gift to his Canadian counterpart.

"I was thinking – what is Mr. Trudeau known for, and what am I known for, and with what can I compete with our dear Prime Minister. I think I am known with my selfies, and Mr. Trudeau with his socks. And there is a [designer] company in Armenia, that decided to make a special gift to both of us – perhaps laying the foundation of a good friendship with this. One [pair] of these socks is mine, Mr. Prime Minister, and the other [pair] is yours,” Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan said while making a toast.

The socks are in the colors of the Armenian flag.
