“Democracies ought to join efforts for peace and sustainable development” President Vahagn Khachaturyan

On October 25, President Vahagn Khachaturyan took part in the working dinner organized on behalf of the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, in honor of the heads of delegations participating in the Global Gateway forum which was attended by the representatives of the countries participating in the forum.

During the discussion, the President of the Republic of Armenia presented the efforts of the Armenian authorities aimed at establishing peace in the region and the challenges on that path. President Khachaturyan emphasized that the exodus of the population of Nagorno-Karabakh has seriously damaged the international community's mediation mission and its capacity, and stronger actions are required to save the peace agenda.

"Military spending in the world is several times higher than education and social spending, which impedes development and resilience to the challenges facing the world. In this regard, democracies ought to join efforts for peace and sustainable development," the President of the Republic of Armenia emphasized.
