The talks were held ahead of the opening of the top-level panel of the international economic forum in St. Petersburg.
Nikol Pashinyan invited Bulgaria to participate in the construction of a highway which connects Armenia and Iran and is part of the transport corridor between the Black Sea and the Persian Gulf. China has already shown interest in the project and its funding may be part of the common efforts to develop the communication ties between Europe and Asia.

Nikol Pashinyan made a request for Bulgaria to support relieving the visa regime between Armenia and the EU.
