On May 26, 2021, Vice Foreign Minister Le Yucheng and Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Avet Adonts held video consultations between Chinese and Armenian Foreign Ministries, and both sides exchanged views on bilateral relations, anti-pandemic cooperation and Belt and Road cooperation.

Le Yucheng said, China-Armenia relations are currently showing good momentum, with the two sides maintaining high-level interactions, bilateral trade growing against the headwinds of COVID-19 and the two peoples strengthening and enhancing friendship through working together to fight the pandemic. This year is of great significance for both China and Armenia, as China will celebrate the centenary of the Communist Party of China and Armenia will celebrate the 30th anniversary of its independence. The two sides should continue to consolidate political mutual trust, deepen Belt and Road cooperation and open up new prospects in the friendly cooperative partnership between China and Armenia.

Adonts thanked China for providing Armenia with COVID-19 vaccine assistance and lauded China for its important contribution to the global pandemic battle. Noting the long-time friendship between Armenia and China, he said, Armenia attaches great importance to developing its relations with China and is willing to continuously deepen cooperation with China in various fields on the basis of equality and mutual trust.
