Relations between Armenia and Nordic countries based on mutual  respect, trust, and shared values - Mher Grigoryan

ArmInfo.  The experience of the Nordic countries demonstrates that a sustainable and competitive state develops not only thanks to economic progress, but also to respect for human dignity and a high level of public trust. This was stated by Armenian Deputy Prime Minister Mher Grigoryan at an event dedicated to the national holidays of the Nordic countries, which was  held as part of the Nordic Days festival.

He emphasized that these principles have ensured the stable  development and prosperity of this region and have become an example  for the international community.

Grigoryan noted that such events provide an opportunity to reiterate  the importance of the ideas and principles on which the Nordic  countries are founded, namely democracy, human rights, the rule of  law, social solidarity, as well as a special attention to education  and innovation. "We highly value the contribution of the Nordic  countries to strengthening global peace, sustainable development, and  international cooperation. This experience is particularly  significant in the face of modern challenges, when close cooperation  between states is needed more than ever," the Deputy Prime Minister  said.

He noted with satisfaction that friendly relations have developed  between Armenia and the Nordic countries, based on mutual respect,  trust, and shared values. "We are confident that these ties will  continue to develop, promoting the expansion of economic, cultural,  educational, and scientific cooperation," Grigoryan said.

According to him, the Armenian government also highly values the  consistent support of the Nordic countries in deepening the  partnership between Armenia and the European Union, as well as in  advancing the reforms being implemented in the country.
