ArmInfo.Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan sent a congratulatory message on the occasion of Diplomat Day. 

As the Prime Minister's Office reports, the message reads: "Dear  diplomats, I congratulate you on the Day of the Diplomat of the  Republic of Armenia. It is emblematic that your professional holiday  is associated with the landmark event in the history of the Armenian  people and the formation of our statehood, when the Armenian tricolor  was raised in front of the UN headquarters. Thus, the age-old dream  of the Armenian people was fulfilled, that is, Armenia's formal and  symbolic inclusion in the large family of sovereign states.

The foreign policy priorities of the Republic of Armenia, the  inviolability of Armenia's and Artsakh's security, the citizens  dignity, as well as the will to achieve a better future for the  country are just the values that should lead us to ever new  achievements.

There are serious issues on Armenia's foreign policy agenda that are  of primary and vital importance to our state.  Our position on these  issues is what will determine Armenia's normal development, security  and international authority.

Armenia is currently moving along the path of bold and irreversible  reforms in various spheres of public life.  You, the diplomats, have  an important mission here in terms of materializing the potential  available in the sphere of foreign policy, which was systematized by  the non-violent velvet revolution in our country. On the one hand,  new challenges have emerged, but on the other hand, we boast  unprecedented opportunities after the velvet revolution.

Today, Armenia enjoys its highest ever rating in the international  arena. This is evidenced by every visit, every meeting. The changes  underway in Armenia are highly appreciated by the international  community. We should build on this with our foreign policy and  economic achievements.  Dear diplomats,

Our common mission is the establishment of Armenia as a country of  law and justice, truth and the most important values - freedom,  democracy, the rule of law and the protection of human rights, and we  will not deviate a millimeter from this mission.

Here our most important mission is to transform the political  revolution into an economic one. Strengthening the economic component  of Armenia's foreign policy is one of our primary tasks, and the  Foreign Ministry has to play a key role in this matter.  Dear  diplomats, Today we boast an exceptional unity on the way to pushing  ahead with our national agenda in a bid to achieve our goals and  dreams aimed at strengthening the Armenian statehood. In this regard,  I expect you to do a consistent and selfless job.

Reiterating my congratulations, I wish you new brave ideas and  inexhaustible energy along the path of implementation in order to  strengthen our statehood and promote our people's wellbeing.
