⚡️Flashback to Day 1 of the Yerevan Dialogue hosted by FM of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan & marked by an inaugural session attended by PM of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan, President of France Emmanuel Macron, and SG of CoE Alain Berset.
Here ideas crossed borders, & dialogue shaped the agenda for a changing world. From strategic debates to moments of connection beyond the stage, it was a day where global perspectives & shared priorities set the tone for the conversations ahead.
