Speaker of the Armenian National Assembly Alen Simonyan has congratulated Roberta Metsola on her reelection as President of the European Parliament.
“Looking forward to deepening Armenia-EU partnership, with support of our friends of the European Parliament and implementing joint initiatives aimed at bringing closer Armenia and the European Union,” Simonyan said in a post on X.
Roberta Metsola has been re-elected president of the European Parliament for the next two years and a half, marking the beginning of the 10th legislature in Strasbourg.
In a vote held on Tuesday morning, the 45-year-old Christian Democrat from Malta secured 562 votes in favour out of the 623 ballots cast by the newly-elected lawmakers, a comfortable victory that easily surpasses the necessary majority.
“We must be the voice that ensures all of our policies work and that they work well for young people, for families, for farmers and for industry alike,” she said in her acceptance speech.
