Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan congratulated Japanese Prime Minister Kishida Fumio on the occasion of the Japanese National Day. The message says:

"Your Excellency,

I warmly congratulate you on the birthday of His Majesty the Emperor of Japan, the national holiday of Japan.

Last year we celebrated the 30th anniversary of establishing diplomatic relations between our two countries. Armenia attaches great importance to further deepening friendly ties with Japan based on shared democratic values and mutual trust.

In the conditions of many challenges and threats in the South Caucasus and the world, Armenia is ready to expand its partnership with Japan in all areas of mutual interest. In this regard, I'd like to let you know that I'm inviting you to visit Armenia to discuss issues related to strengthening bilateral interstate relations.

I wish you good health, new successes, and the friendly people of Japan - well-being and all the best."
