The Armenian Foreign Ministry on Monday hosted an event marking the Diplomat's Day.

In his speech, Armenian Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan noted that the day is symbolic for the diplomatic service of Armenia, 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, the Foreign Ministry reported.

Mirzoyan added that even today, in the conditions of global developments and instability, in the situation created in the region, the diplomatic service of the Republic of Armenia is fighting persistently for the 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 diplomatic service of Armenia abroad on the occasion of the professional holiday, wishing them success in their sacred mission of serving the Republic of Armenia.

During the event, a solemn swearing-in ceremony of the diplomats who joined the ranks of the diplomatic service took place and Mirzoyan awarded them diplomas of diplomats.
