Security Policy Catherine Ashton issued a congratulatory message on
the occasion of the opening of the Diplomatic Academy in Yerevan.

in Yerevan. I trust that this institution will provide an important
contribution to the strengthening of EU-Armenia relations.
I warmly welcome the personal dedication and commitment that Foreign

I note with pleasure that each year the Diplomatic Academy will offer
up to 25 students from Armenia the possibility to improve their
knowledge of diplomacy and foreign relations. I am also delighted

contribute to the setting up of the Diplomatic Academy," Catherine
