Receives newly appointed representative
On November 10, the newly appointed representative of the UN Children's Fund (UNICEF) Manya Henriet Arens handed her credentials to RA Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandyan.
Congratulating the guest on her appointment, Minister Nalbandyan mentioned that Armenia highly appreciates UNICEF's activities aimed at protecting children's rights, as well as solving the issues for improving their health and living conditions.
The minister expressed satisfaction with the fact that the UNICEF Office in Armenia had been making serious contributions to the implementation of children's programs since its establishment in Armenia in 1994.
Edward Nalbandyan positively assessed the fact that the priorities presented by the Armenian government had served as grounds for the 2010-2015 UNICEF program for Armenia.
Expressing gratitude for the warm reception, Manya Arens said the UN Children's Fund and the processes taking place within its framework have always been in Armenia's focus, and that the Armenian government has always trusted the office, the MFA Department of Press, Information and Public Relations reports.
