The president of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, sent a letter to the speaker of the National Assembly (NA) of Armenia, Alen Simonyan, and welcomed Armenia's wish to expand relations with the European Union (EU), the NA informs.

The European Parliament accepts and welcomes the fact that Armenia has resolutely emphasized its desire to expand relations with the European Union and prioritize them. The agreed new EU-Armenia partnership agenda, as well as the start of the visa liberalization dialogue with Armenia, are a clear proof of their expanded relations, Metsola noted in her letter.

She expressed a hope that the NA of Armenia will have the opportunity to resume cooperation with the delegation of the European Parliament on relations with the countries of the South Caucasus, after its upcoming founding assembly, when the newly elected MPs will assume their office. It is certain that this will provide a key platform for the further development of parliamentary cooperation, added the president of the European Parliament.
