The High Commissioner of Diaspora Affairs of Armenia, Zareh Sinanyan, will travel to Singapore from March 24 to 30 to participate in events marking the 190th anniversary of the Armenian Church of Saint Gregory the Illuminator.

The visit was formalized by a decree from Prime Minister Pashinyan and published on Friday.

The Armenian Church of Saint Gregory the Illuminator, referred to locally as the Armenian Church, is located on Hill Street in the Museum Planning Area, within Singapore’s Central Area. The church was completed in 1835 and consecrated the following year. It is the first Christian church built in Singapore.
