Mr. HAMADEH of Arizona. Mr. Speaker, I rise today with tremendous respect to recognize Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and the enduring American-Armenian partnership.
rich cultural and spiritual heritage that has endured for millennia. Today, under his leadership, Armenia finds itself at a defining moment in its modern history. His government's efforts to strengthen democratic institutions, secure lasting peace, and expand Armenia's partnerships with the United States and Europe have earned the attention and admiration of many who recognize the significance of this historic opportunity.
Armenia reflects this remarkable progress. President Trump's leadership to join him and President Ilham Aliyev in signing a trilateral Joint Declaration marked an important milestone in advancing peace and stability in the South Caucasus. His meetings with President Trump, his participation in the World Economic Forum in Davos at his invitation, and Armenia's role as a founding member of the Board of Peace initiative, demonstrate a shared commitment to diplomacy, regional stability, and a stronger United States-Armenia relationship.
the most consequential diplomatic initiatives in Armenia's modern history. Following his party's victory in the June 2026 parliamentary elections, the Armenian people entrusted his government with a renewed mandate to pursue a permanent peace. The successful conclusion of negotiations on the draft Agreement on the Establishment of Peace and Interstate Relations reflects both political courage and a commitment to reconciliation after decades of conflict.
by the extraordinary Armenian-American community. For generations, Armenian-Americans have made remarkable contributions to business, science, technology, philanthropy, and public life.
friendship, I remain confident that the United States and Armenia will deepen their partnership in ways that advance regional stability, expand economic opportunity, and promote lasting peace.
