The interlocutors referred to the active political dialogue between Armenia and Luxembourg.

"On the way to democratic reforms, we attach great importance to cooperation with your country within the framework of the EU. We are happy to appoint a new non-resident ambassador to Armenia. I hope that in the future we will also have resident ambassadors in the capitals," said Alen Simonyan.

Issues related to the security situation in the region were discussed at the meeting. The Speaker of the National Assembly thanked the Chamber of Deputies of Luxembourg for adopting resolutions related to the war unleashed against Artsakh in 2020, as well as the resolution regarding the repatriation of Armenian prisoners of war and civilians held in Azerbaijan.
