Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan met today with visiting French Defense Minister Sébastien Lecornu and noted that France was one of the first countries to respond to Armenia’s decision to diversify its defense sector cooperation.

Lecornu, who arrived in Armenia yesterday for defense cooperation talks, said the defense ministries of the two countries have mapped out a very specific path in this regard.

A statement released by Pashinyan's office says, “The sides exchanged thoughts on issues related to regional security and stability.”
