Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan received Gladys Berejiklian, the Premier of the Australian State of New South Wales, who is paying a private visit to Armenia.
“We are happy and proud of your activities in Australia. Today, you are one of the most influential Armenian women in the world, and I am pleased to meet you,” Nikol Pashinyan said. The Head of Government expressed the hope that Gladys Berejiklian’s efforts would help wind up relations between Armenia and Australia and expand the scope of mutual interests.
Gladys Berejiklian complimented the Prime Minister for the positive developments unfolding in Armenia and stated the Armenian community of Australia is closely following the events taking place in the Motherland. She emphasized that unlike what could be seen over the past few years, this time she can witness great enthusiasm and belief among the Armenians. Mrs. Berejiklian talked about her activities in the state of New South Wales and the Armenian community of Australia.
The interlocutors exchanged ideas on developing cooperation between Armenia and Australia, strengthening ties between the Motherland and the Diaspora, as well as on the priorities of the Armenian government.
