Strengthening the bonds between Japan and Armenia: a decision made and agreed upon.
In a series of meetings held in Tokyo on Thursday, Japanese Prime Minister Shigeru Ishiba met with the leaders of Armenia and Colombia, deepening relations between these nations.
The day began with a meeting between Shigeru Ishiba and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. During their discussions, both leaders agreed to strengthen economic relations and foster human exchanges between their countries. Nikol Pashinyan expressed Armenia's desire to attract more investments from Japan, while Shigeru Ishiba voiced his hope that the joint declaration for peace signed by Armenia and Azerbaijan last month would lead to lasting peace and prosperity in the region. Pashinyan also expressed gratitude for Japan's disaster prevention and medical assistance to Armenia.
Later in the day, Shigeru Ishiba met with Colombian President Gustavo Petro. No explicit mention was made by Petro about his desire to attract more investments from Japan, as Nikol Pashinyan did. Similarly, no specific gratitude or mention of past aid was expressed by either leader during this meeting.
Shigeru Ishiba, however, described Armenia as an important partner for cooperation in maintaining and strengthening a free and open international order based on the rule of law. No specific mention of this was made in the meeting between Shigeru Ishiba and Gustavo Petro.
In a parallel development, Nikol Pashinyan and Gustavo Petro also confirmed their commitment to fostering human exchanges between Japan and Colombia. However, no specific details about investments or assistance were mentioned in either of the meetings.
It's worth noting that Armenia and Azerbaijan have been in negotiations on the resolution of their long-standing conflict over the Nagorno-Karabakh autonomous region. The outcome of these talks remains to be seen.
Despite the lack of explicit details about future investments or collaborations, these meetings serve as a testament to the growing interest in strengthening ties between these nations. The leaders' commitments to peace, economic cooperation, and human exchanges bode well for the future of these relationships.
