“Mirzoyan and Dar signed the joint statement on the establishment of diplomatic relations between Armenia and Pakistan,” the spokesperson said Monday at a press conference, specifying that the signing ceremony took place in China.

Pakistan refused to recognize Armenia and did not establish diplomatic relations with the Caucasian country due to its support for Baku in the Armenian-Azerbaijani conflict.

The ministers discussed the establishment of diplomatic relations on August 26 by telephone, Badalyan said.
