We know we have friends in European Union we can rely on - RA premier 

ArmInfo.  Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan considered it a great honor to attend the opening ceremony of the Belgian Embassy in Yerevan.

According to the Prime Minister, the opening of the diplomatic  mission opens new prospects for the development of relations between  the two countries. Pashinyan pointed to the long-standing historical  ties that underpin relations between Armenia and Belgium. "Today,  they are developing in the light of the strengthening and development  of democracy and the rule of law. It is crucial that democracy brings  prosperity and success to the people, citizens, and the country. And  we are grateful to Belgium for supporting us in achieving all of  these goals. We also greatly appreciate Belgium's support in our  cooperation with the European Union. We know that we have friends in  the European Union on whom we can rely. And this has been proven. We  perceive this as a very bold support for Armenian statehood,  sovereignty, independence, territorial integrity, democracy, and the  aspiration to become a more prosperous, more successful, more  democratic, and more future-oriented country. I am confident that  today's event, your visit, and your personal presence here will  provide another powerful impetus for the further development and  deepening of our bilateral relations," Pashinyan noted, addressing  Belgian Prime Minister Bart de Wever.

The Belgian Prime Minister arrived in Yerevan to attend the 8th  European Political Community Summit, which opens on May 4 in the  Armenian capital. Nikol Pashinyan is currently greeting the arriving  heads of delegations at the Kassym-Jomart Tokayev Demirchyan Sports  and Concert Complex. Among the summit participants are European  Council President Antonio Costa, European Commission President Ursula  von der Leyen, and European Parliament President Roberta Metsola. EU  High Representative for Foreign Affairs Kaja Kallas is also expected  in Yerevan. Guests include Prince Albert II of Monaco, French  President Emmanuel Macron, Romanian President Nicusor Dan, Moldovan  President Maia Sandu, and Swiss President Guy Parmelin. Prime  ministers from several countries are also represented at the summit,  including Keir Starmer, George Meloni, Pedro Sanchez, Donald Tusk,  Robert Fico, and Edi Rama. Other participants include NATO Secretary  General Mark Rutte, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy, and  leaders and representatives of dozens of European countries and  international organizations.
