Armenia and Pakistan are in the process of reciprocally establishing non-resident embassies, Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan said on Monday.

Mirzoyan briefed Members of Parliament on the Ministry of Foreign Affairs’ 2025 report during a meeting of the parliamentary Committee on Foreign Affairs.

He recalled that last year Armenia established diplomatic relations with three countries: Lesotho, the Solomon Islands, and Pakistan.

“Particularly in the case of Pakistan, there had been a longstanding issue, partly connected to Armenia-Azerbaijan and Armenia-Türkiye relations. Last year, we managed to reach a mutual understanding. The Pakistani side also marked this development quite ceremoniously. We established diplomatic relations and will accredit ambassadors — initially as non-resident — but the process is underway,” Mirzoyan said.

Armenia and Pakistan signed the Joint Communiqué on the Establishment of Diplomatic Relations in August 2025 during the SCO summit in Tianjin, China.
