Speaker of the Armenian parliament Ara Babloyan, who is paying a visit to Canada, met on Thursday with the Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada Geoff Regan.
As the parliament press service reports, issues on the effective cooperation with Canada in different spheres and the activities of the Canadian Armenian community were discussed. The sides have underlined that about 90.000 Armenians residing in Canada have a considerable contribution to the development of bilateral relations and are actively involved in different spheres of Canada’s public life.
The cooperation between the two countries within the framework of the international organizations, especially within the framework of the International Organisation of La Francophonie (IOF) referred to. Noting that Canada showed an important support in supporting the holding of the 17th Summit of the Heads of the States and Governments of La Francophonie in Yerevan in 2018, Ara Babloyan documented that Armenia would gladly host the high-ranking guests, including the official delegation of Canada.
Babloyan emphasized the balanced and impartial position adopted by the authorities of Canada in the settlement of Nagorno Karabakh conflict.
The Speaker of the House of Commons of Canada, in turn, underscored that the bilateral cooperation is laid on firm bases. He has documented that his country supports the efforts of Armenia directed to the peaceful settlement of the NK problem.
At the end of the meeting, NA Speaker invited Geoff Regan to Armenia.
