We express our gratitude for Canada`s principled support for  Armenia`s sovereignty, territorial integrity and democratic  development - NA vice-speaker 

ArmInfo. Since the establishment of diplomatic relations, Armenia and Canada have been successfully building a strong and successful partnership based on mutual respect, democratic values and common aspirations. This was stated by Vice Speaker of the National Assembly of the Republic of Armenia Hakob Arshakyan, speaking at a reception on the occasion of Canada Day.

According to him, warm and constructive relations have been  established between the two countries, which continue to deepen in  many areas. "High-level political dialogue between Armenia and  Canada, including inter-parliamentary cooperation, is an important  pillar of our bilateral ties. In this regard, I would like to  highlight the important role of the Armenian Embassies in Canada and  the Canadian Embassy in Yerevan in advancing our common agenda and  facilitating institutional interaction. As a successful example of  parliamentary cooperation, I would like to highlight the "Support to  the Armenian Parliament" project, implemented by the Canadian  Parliamentary Centre, which aims to improve inclusive and accountable  internal governance in the National Assembly of Armenia. Given that  we are so close to establishing a long-awaited and sustainable peace  in the South Caucasus, we express our sincere gratitude for Canada's  principled support for the sovereignty, territorial integrity and  democratic development of the Republic of Armenia. Such unwavering  support is both encouraging and important in today's geopolitical  situation," the NA Vice Speaker emphasized. He added that Armenia  attaches great importance to expanding economic cooperation with  Canada. 

Yerevan is ready to make efforts to ensure further growth in such  areas as trade, investment, high technology, innovation,  environmental protection and other areas of mutual interest. "We are  confident that expanding and enriching cooperation will best serve  the well-being of our peoples. I would also like to highlight the  significant contribution of the Armenian community of Canada. Its  active role in cultural dialogue continues to strengthen our mutual  understanding and friendship in promoting common values," the NA Vice  Speaker noted.
