On October 27, Ambassador Monika Simonyan was received by Mr. Nakasone Yasutaka, State Minister for Foreign Affairs of Japan.

Ambassador Simonyan noted that there is a steady dynamic in the relations between Armenia and Japan, as well as significant potential for developing cooperation across a number of sectors.
