On October 26, 2021, Armenian President Armen Sarkissian paid a historic working visit to Saudi Arabia, reports the Office of the President of Armenia.
This unprecedented event will unequivocally become a turning point in Armenia’s international relations.

At the airport in the capital of Saudi Arabia, President Armen Sarkissian was greeted at the highest state level, namely by State Minister of Foreign Affairs of Saudi Arabia Adel al-Jubeir, and according to the official protocol, the national flag of the Republic of Armenia was raised at the airport,” the press release reads.
