ArmInfo. On September 23, Foreign Minister of Armenia Edward Nalbandyan
received Ambassador of Switzerland to Armenia Lorenzo Amberg on the
occasion of opening of the Swiss Embassy headquarters in Yerevan,
Armenian Foreign Ministry press service told ArmInfo.
According to E. Nalbandyan, opening of the Embassy headquarters will
become a serious stimulus for further tightening of the Armenian-Swiss
friendly relations. He gladly noted the fact of implementation of the
agreement on opening of a diplomatic representation of Switzerland in
Armenia, which was reached about a year ago during the visit of Swiss
Foreign Minister Micheline Calmy-Rey to Armenia. ‘Appointment of the
most renowned Armenian, Charles Aznavour, ambassador of Armenia to
Switzerland is another evidence of the importance that Armenia attaches
to development of relations with this country’, the minister said.
In his turn, Ambassador Amberg presented Konstantin Obolensky as Charge
d’Affairs of Swiss Embassy in Armenia and assured he will make efforts
to foster comprehensive bilateral relations between the countries.
