As reported the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia, greeting the guests, with satisfaction, Minister Mnatsakanyan underscored the participation of the US representational delegation in the events dedicated to Armenian Army Day.
The interlocutors exchanged views on the US-Armenia strategic dialogue and emphasized the importance of implementation of the agreements reached through that dialogue. The parties indicated the development and expansion of decentralized cooperation as a key component of the bilateral agenda, the best example of which is the cooperation that the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia established with Kansas in 2003. They also expressed willingness to take joint steps in already traditional directions, including peacekeeping and military medicine and, in this context, Armenia’s foreign minister highly appreciated the US government’s significant contributions to the strengthening of Armenia’s peacekeeping capacities.
