ArmInfo. Armenian President Armen Sarkissian in his residence met with Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who has arrived in Yerevan with an official visit.
According to the press service of the Armenian President, Sarkissian stressed that Canada is a friendly country for Armenia. "We have always highly appreciated the warm attitude that the people and the government of Canada showed to those Armenians who were in need. Armenians will never forget that step of yours when you personally welcomed our compatriots in Syria. We also highly appreciate what your father did. At the time when you visited Armenia, it was in the aftermath of the earthquake, on the threshold of independence for our country. But it was also the period when the Karabakh movement began, which became a movement in the name of independence, "the Armenian President noted. In turn, Trudeau stressed that he was glad to return to Armenia. According to him, it is pleasant to talk about the friendship between Armenia and Canada, which has a good history, but which has serious potential for the future. The Canadian Premier expressed the conviction that today there is a wonderful political phase for Armenia, which leads to more realistic, deeper democratic and economic opportunities. Trudeau expressed hope that Armenia and Canada will be able to build a more solid future together. During the meeting, the parties agreed that Armenia and Canada can successfully cooperate in the fields of information technology and education.
