YEREVAN. - Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian's Latin American
tour kicked off with a visit to Mexico on Monday.
In Mexico City, Nalbandian met with his Mexican colleague, Patricia
Espinosa, Armenian MFA press service informs.
Espinosa noted that her country sees Armenia as a friendly country and
wishes to expand interaction. In his turn, Armenia's FM expressed a
conviction that his visit will assist in deepening cooperation. The
interlocutors reaffirmed their readiness to take steps toward
increasing cooperation and, in this connection, they made arrangement
on expanding the bilateral legal and contractual domain. They shared
the view that the opening of Armenia's Embassy in Mexico will greatly
contribute to strengthening ties. Also, Nalbandian and Espinosa
exchanged views on economic cooperation and cultural exchange.
Armenia's FM expressed bewilderment over the fact that the previous
Mexican parliament had adopted resolutions that misrepresents the
reality concerning the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict. He stressed that
these resolutions are flagrantly contrary to the international
community's stance, they harm the conflict settlement process and
the regional security, and adversely affect Armenian-Mexican relations.
Edward Nalbandian also stressed that he shares the Mexican human
rights advocates' view that the erecting of a "Khojaly" monument in
Mexico City is an insult to the memory of genocide victims, and that
he agrees with the world reaction against the placing of the former
Azerbaijani president's statue in the Mexican capital city. In her
turn, Patricia Espinosa noted that all this received a negative
reaction by the Mexican public.
Nalbandian briefed his Mexican counterpart on the Karabakh peace
process, and the Mexican FM reaffirmed her government's full support
to the conflict's solely peaceful resolution and on the basis of the
proposals offered by the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs.
Expanding interaction within international organizations likewise
was in the agenda of Nalbandian's and Espinosa's talk.
Subsequently, Edward Nalbandian and Patricia Espinosa signed a
memorandum on holding political consultations between the Armenian
and Mexican MFAs.
On the same day, Nalbandian also met with members of the Mexican
Senate and noted that, even though this year marks the twentieth
anniversary of diplomatic ties between both countries, not everything
is carried out to develop relations. During their discussion of the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict, the senators stressed that negotiations
are the only way to resolve this matter.
Separately, Edward Nalbandian delivered a lecture, on Armenia's
foreign policy, at the Institute "Matias Romero" of Diplomatic Studies
(Diplomatic Academy of Mexico), and gave a news conference.
