Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan hosted the delegation led by the former Prime Minister of France, Mayor of Le Havre  Édouard Philippe. This was reported by the RA Prime Minister's Office.

The Prime Minister emphasized the consistent development of Armenian-French relations and underlined Mr. Philippe's efforts in strengthening them. Nikol Pashinyan highly appreciated the former French Prime Minister's visit to the Syunik region of Armenia.

Philippe noted that he had a meeting with Artsakh Armenians in Goris, who are unable to travel to Nagorno Karabakh due to the closure of the Lachin corridor, to assess the situation on the spot.

In this context, the continuous attention and consistent steps of the international community in the direction of unblocking the Lachin Corridor in order to overcome the humanitarian, environmental, and energy crisis created in Nagorno-Karabakh were highlighted.

At the meeting, ideas were exchanged about the processes taking place in the region.
