 Mr. Ambassador, let us start with a traditional question. What is you assessment of the Armenian-Czech relations

Since the establishment of the diplomatic offices of Armenia and the Czech Republic in Yerevan and Prague, the Armenian-Czech relations have intensified and developed dynamically in the political, economic and humanitarian fields. As for the political relations, never before have they been at such a high level. In 2014, President of Armenia traveled to Prague, in 2015, the prime minister and defense minister paid visits to the Czech Republic. Earlier in 2012, the Armenian parliament speaker visited the country. The same tendency is observed on the Czech side. For instance, the foreign minister of the Czech Republic traveled to Yerevan in 2013 and 2015, the minister of industry and trade – in early February. The president and defense minister of the Czech Republic are expected to visit Armenia this June. Parliamentary delegations make mutual visits regularly. We will work to maintain this high level of cooperation in the future too.
