PanARMENIAN.Net - Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has sent a congratulatory message to U.S. President Donald Trump on the occasion of American Independence Day, emphasizing Armenia’s strong commitment to deepening its strategic partnership with the United States.

“Honorable Mr. President, on behalf of the Government and people of the Republic of Armenia, as well as myself, I warmly congratulate you and the friendly people of the United States on the occasion of your national holiday — Independence Day.

Armenia and the United States are united by a historic friendship between our peoples, a shared commitment to democratic principles and Christian values, and an enduring dedication to freedom, dignity, and justice.

Armenia places high importance on deepening its strategic partnership with the U.S. and expanding cooperation in all areas of mutual interest, including trade, high technology, energy, mining, transportation, and infrastructure. I am confident that through joint efforts, we will elevate our relations to a new level for the benefit of both the Armenian and American peoples.

I highly appreciate your vision for resolving conflicts worldwide and establishing peace. I am hopeful that under your leadership, the United States will play a crucial role in bringing lasting peace, stability, and prosperity to the South Caucasus. The Government of Armenia reaffirms its firm commitment to the peace agenda based on the principles of sovereignty, territorial integrity, and the inviolability of internationally recognized borders, as well as the unblocking of regional infrastructure in line with the ‘Crossroads of Peace’ initiative.

Once again, I congratulate you on Independence Day and wish you good health, success, and continued accomplishments. I also wish the people of the United States peace, well-being, and ongoing progress,” the message read.

I deeply value the continued support of the United States for democratic reforms in Armenia and efforts toward establishing peace and stability in the region,” his message stated.
