Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni congratulated Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on his party’s victory in Armenia’s parliamentary elections.
“I would like to convey to you the warmest congratulations of the Government of the Republic of Italy, as well as my own personal congratulations, on your re-election as the leader of the Republic of Armenia,” Meloni said in a letter published by Pashinyan’s office. “The vote of the Armenian people has, for the third time, recognized your leadership and acknowledged the courage with which you have faced challenges of exceptional complexity.
Italy is following Armenia’s process of strengthening its relations with Europe and firmly supports the process of normalizing relations with Azerbaijan. The agreement reached in Washington in 2025 is an important achievement, and you can continue to rely on our commitment to supporting further steps aimed at establishing lasting peace, with the understanding that the normalization of relations represents an important opportunity for stability and prosperity not only for Armenia but also for the entire region.
Relations between our countries are strong and continue to develop. We are united by active economic ties, long-standing cultural and archaeological cooperation, as well as tangible prospects for cooperation in areas such as infrastructure and defense. I am confident that your new mandate will provide an opportunity to further strengthen this partnership.”
