YEREVAN (Armradio) — On May 26, political consultations were held between the Ministries of Foreign Affairs of the Republic of Armenia and the People’s Republic of China. From the Armenian side, the consultations were chaired by Deputy Foreign Minister Avet Adonts, and on the Chinese side by Chinese Deputy Foreign Minister Le Yucheng.

During the consultations, the parties discussed a wide range of issues on the international, regional and bilateral agenda.
