On March 4, an event dedicated to Diplomat's Day was held at the RA Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
In his speech, RA Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan noted that the day is symbolic for the RA diplomatic service because it was on this day that the flag of the newly independent Republic of Armenia was raised at the UN headquarters, symbolizing the aspiration of our people to create a free, independent state. Minister Mirzoyan added that even today, in the conditions of global developments and instability, in the situation created in the region, the RA diplomatic service is fighting persistently for sovereignty, territorial integrity, and its choice to be a democratic country, and overcoming this challenge continues to require serious efforts.
The Minister once again congratulated the diplomats of the central apparatus of the MFA and the RA Diplomatic Service abroad on the occasion of the professional holiday, wishing them success in their sacred mission of serving RA.
During the event, a solemn swearing-in ceremony of the diplomats who joined the ranks of the diplomatic service took place; RA Foreign Minister Mirzoyan awarded them diplomas of diplomats.
