RA National Assembly Speaker Tigran Torosyan received the Ambassador
Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary of Egypt to Armenia Abla Mohammad
Abd-el Rahman Osman on the occasion of the ambassador’s tenure
completion.

Speaker Tigran Torosyan noted that although the years of the
Ambassador’s tenure in office were productive from the perspective of
development of Armenian-Egyptian relations, the inter-parliamentary
relations were not active. He voiced hope that after the May 12
parliamentary elections in Armenia an Armenian-Egyptian Deputy
Friendship Group will be formed in the National Assembly to promote
the establishment of active inter-parliamentary ties between the
two countries.

Ambassador Abla Mohammad Abd-el Rahman Osman congratulated
Tigran Torosyan on the conduction of successful parliamentary
elections. The ambassador also attached importance to the development
if inter-parliamentary ties and informed that a Deputy Friendship
Group with the National Assembly of Armenia operates in the Parliament
of Egypt.

The parties dwelt on other issues as well.
