The President congratulated the Ambassador, the leadership of Egypt, and the brotherly people of Egypt on the occasion, wishing them peace, development, and success.

“Thanks to Your efforts as well, Armenian-Egyptian relations are continuously developing and achieving success.

The President added that this political dialogue has a positive impact on the development of business relations as well, creating new opportunities for economic cooperation.

On the eve of our national holiday, Your warm attitude and support have special significance. I thank You for the support You consistently show during the implementation of my diplomatic mission in Armenia, which is aimed at the continuous development of our bilateral relations.”

The Ambassador pointed to the official visit of President of Egypt Abdel Fattah El-Sisi to Armenia at the beginning of 2023, noting that it served as a new impetus for strengthening Armenian-Egyptian relations and deepening cooperation. Serenade Gamil also emphasized the significant contribution of the Armenian community in Egypt to the country’s development.
