United States Secretary of State Marco Rubio has expressed support for Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and his administration.
“Let me just say that both yourself and the Prime Minister and your entire team here in Armenia are blazing the trail toward a brighter and more independent future for Armenia,” Rubio told Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan after their meeting in Yerevan.
“And we’re very happy to be here to show my support, my support for their courage, my support for their vision, my support for their dedication, my support for their willingness to see for the future of their country what it takes to get there. And we’re very happy and proud to be a part of it, and we can’t wait to do more together. So thank you,” he added.
The U.S. Secretary of State arrived in Armenia on May 26 to sign several cooperation agreements with Armenia — the Framework for Securing Supply in the Mining and Processing of Critical Minerals and Rare Earths, the Framework Agreement on Strategic Cooperation Concerning the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP), and the Charter on Comprehensive and Strategic Partnership.
