YEREVAN. – Prime Minister of Armenia Karen Karapetyan on Monday sent a congratulatory letter to Ms Gladys Berejiklian on assuming the office of the premier of New South Wales (NSW), the largest state of Australia.

The letter reads as follows:

“Dear Ms Berejiklian,

I congratulate you most warmly both on my behalf and on behalf of the Government of the Republic of Armenia on assuming the post of the New South Wales (NSW) state of Australia.

It is praiseworthy that being actively engaged in the social and political life of the country, the Armenian community of Australia uniquely contributes to the development of Australia in different spheres, your fruitful activity being indicative of this.

I hope that during your office new impetus will be given to the development of relations between Armenia and Australia, in particular to the decentralized cooperation between our provinces and cities.

Taking advantage of the occasion, I would like to wish you success and new achievements in favor of the prosperity of the friendly people of Australia and strengthening of Armenian-Australian friendship.”
