Armenia-Saudi Arabia friendship group to be formed in Armenian NA

ArmInfo. A parliamentary friendship group between Armenia and Saudi Arabia will be created in the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia. The corresponding initiative was put forward by the Chairman of the NA Committee on Foreign Relations Sarkis Khandanyan.

At the regular meeting of the committee on February 3, Khandanyan  emphasized that diplomatic relations were established between the two  countries on November 25 last year. Last year, the two countries  appointed non-resident ambassadors on a reciprocal basis, and most  recently, a friendship group between Saudi Arabia and Armenia was  formed in the parliament of Saudi Arabia, which, according to  Khandanyan, is welcomed by the Armenian side. In response, a decision  was made to form a similar group in the NA of Armenia.

All its members, including those from the opposition, voted for the  creation of the group.
