Serzh Sargsyan calls for development of relations with partner states
Armenia's President Serzh Sargsyan met Thursday with heads of RA diplomatic missions accredited abroad, the leader's press office reported.
Mr Sargsyan presented the priorities of Armenia's foreign policy and said that their realization requires bravery and energy. "The coming years should become the years of initiatory foreign policy," he said and added, "No turnaround is expected. We will keep up complementary policy and strengthen relations with partner states. We need a more dynamic development. It doesn't mean that the foreign ministry fulfilled its tasks properly. But the circumstances demand redoubling of efforts," he said.
