New parliamentary friendship groups to be established in RA NA

ArmInfo. New parliamentary friendship groups will be established in the National Assembly of Armenia. The issue was discussed on January 14 during a meeting of the NA Committee on Foreign Relations.

Committee Chairman Sargis Khandanyan presented the idea of  establishing an Armenia-Oman friendship group. He noted that Armenia  has recently initiated an active political dialogue with Oman. Last  year, Yerevan opened a permanent embassy in Oman, and creating an  Armenia-Oman friendship group in the National Assembly would also be  appropriate.

Sargis Khandanyan reported that the Colombian Parliament has  expressed a desire to strengthen interparliamentary ties with  Armenia. To achieve this goal, Colombia has proposed the creation of  interparliamentary friendship groups. MP Tatevik Gasparyan brought up  the topic of establishing an Armenia-Dominican Republic friendship  group  for discussion. She reported that during a working visit to  Mexico in 2025,  a meeting with the Vice President of the Chamber of  Deputies of the Dominican Republic led to an agreement to form  parliamentary friendship groups. She also noted that a friendship  group had already been established in the Dominican Republic in late  May of the previous year.
