/PanARMENIAN.Net/ EU’s High Representative for Foreign Affairs and
Security Policy Catherine Ashton issued a congratulatory message on
the occasion of the opening of the Diplomatic Academy in Yerevan.

"I congratulate Armenia on the opening of the Diplomatic Academy
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
Minister Nalbandian has demonstrated in support of this initiative.

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
that the EU, through its Advisory Group in Armenia, has been able to
contribute to the setting up of the Diplomatic Academy," Catherine
Ashton said in her address.
