Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan of Armenia on Thursday sent a congratulatory message to Prime Minister Nicolae Ionel Ciuca of Romania on the latter’s National Day, the Great Union Day. The message reads as follows, in particular:

"Historically formed friendship and mutual respect between our two peoples are a solid foundation for the further strengthening and deepening of bilateral cooperation in both bilateral and multilateral formats, including within the scope of opportunities provided by the Armenia-EU Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement. In that context, we expect activation of joint work in economic and a number of other fields. I also attach importance to the efforts made by Romania within the framework of the EU, which are aimed at restoring regional peace and stability, expecting recording of positive results.”
