The President of the Republic of Armenia Armen Sarkissian sent a congratulatory message to the President of France Emmanuel Macron on the National Day of the French Republic.

The message says:

"I warmly congratulate and send my best wishes to you and the friendly people of France on the National Day of the French Republic.

The centuries-old friendship between Armenia and France, the special relationship between our states, the high-level political dialogues, and mutual trust have an immense potential for the further development of the Armenian-French cooperation.

Armenia appreciates France's consistent efforts, and in particular, your personal contribution as the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair to the peaceful settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict for the sake of peace and stability in our region.

I hope that with mutual efforts, we will enrich the already comprehensive Armenian-French agenda with new ideas and initiatives.

Dear Mr. President,

I am full of hope that in the near future, we will have the opportunity to study specific cooperation programs, which we have had the chance to discuss on various occasions. I would especially like to mention the Presidential ATOM (Advanced Tomorrow) Initiative, food security, launching a “Small and Successful States Club,” Debt for Climate Change program, as well as the regional economic cooperation between the International Organization of the Francophonie and the Eurasian Economic Union.

I wish you inexhaustible energy and success and the friendly people of France progress and prosperity."
