The meeting followed a discussion between Indian and Armenian representatives on November 13 to expand parliamentary cooperation.

Indian Ambassador to Armenia Armstrong Changsan met Parliament Vice-President Hayk Konjoryan, who heads the Armenia-India Parliamentary Friendship Group.

Members of the group attended the meeting, which focused on bilateral relations and legislative exchanges.

Earlier, Prime Minister Narendra Modi met Pashinyan on August 31 during the Shanghai Cooperation Organisation (SCO) Summit in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. Their discussions covered cooperation in defence, trade, pharmaceuticals, science and technology, education and culture, along with regional and international 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 Prime Minister acknowledged Armenia’s assistance in facilitating the evacuation of Indian citizens stranded in Iran during heightened tensions in West Asia.

The engagements reflect continued efforts by New Delhi and Yerevan to strengthen their diplomatic, economic and strategic partnership.
