PM Modi and Pashinyan Review Bilateral Partnership

Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met his Armenian counterpart on August 31 during the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan.

The discussions covered opportunities to expand cooperation in defence, economic affairs, pharmaceuticals, science and technology, education and culture.

Both leaders also reviewed international and regional developments, particularly the situation in West Asia.

During a telephone conversation in June, PM Modi congratulated Pashinyan and his party on their victory in Armenia’s parliamentary elections.

The Indian Prime Minister also acknowledged Armenia’s assistance in facilitating the evacuation of Indian citizens stranded in Iran during heightened tensions in West Asia.

These high-level engagements underline the continued efforts by New Delhi and Yerevan to deepen diplomatic, economic and strategic cooperation.
