Armenia’s Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan, who is on a visit to
Japan, has met with Speaker of the Japanese Parliament’s Speaker
Takahiro Yokomichi.

The parties have discussed matters of cooperation between the two
counties, shared views on international matters, and those of the
Caucasus and Pacific regions, spokesman of Armenia’s Foreign Ministry
told. As there is a Group of Friendship at the Armenian Parliament,
the similar group is expected to be established at Japanese Parliament.

Mr. Takahiro Yokomichi has praised Armenian-Turkish reconciliation
and efforts aimed at settling stability in the region, and said he
believes the process of normalisation of relations will positively
influence settlement of the Karabakh conflict.
