“We have done tremendous work in a short period of time under the auspices of an excellent partnership. Thus, we can record an important cornerstone achievement in Armenia-US relations: we are establishing a Strategic Partnership Commission,” said the US Secretary of State.

According to Blinken, this commission provides a framework for expanding bilateral cooperation in a number of important areas: defense and security, economy, democracy and justice, inclusiveness and people-to-people relations.

Speaking about Armenian-American economic and energy cooperation, Anthony Blinken said: “We are currently moving toward negotiations on peaceful nuclear security and nuclear energy.”
