Mr. Justin Trudeau
Leader of the Liberal Party of Canada
And the Rgt Honorable Prime Minister designate of Canada
Dear Mr. Trudeau,
Please accept my warmest congratulations to you and to the entire team of the Liberal Party of Canada, personally as well as on behalf of the clergy, the Diocesan Council and the faithful of the Armenian Apostolic Church Canadian Diocese as a whole. Your stunning victory rewards a tireless commitment to serving the multicultural Canadian society. It is also the crowning achievement of an exceptional campaign whose brilliance and high tone demonstrated the vitality of the Canadian democracy.
In entrusting the mandate to your leadership, the Canadians from all walks of life have chosen the path of change, openness and optimism. At a time when the world is in torment and doubt, the Canadian people strongly expressed their faith in progress and in the future.
By the providence of our merciful God, Armenians have always been and, I confirm, we will always remain bound to Canada through our ties of history, values and friendship.
Rest assured that the Armenian Diocese of Canada is most willing and ready to help and collaborate with all your efforts towards the betterment of life for Canadian citizens.
We are looking forward to further developing our relations with your team and would be delighted to meet you personally, at your convenience.
Please accept, Mr. Trudeau, the expression of my highest regards.
Prayerfully yours,
Bishop Abgar Hovakimyan
Primate
