The talks covered plans to deepen political dialogue and enhance cooperation across various sectors, with a particular focus on promoting bilateral trade. Both parties emphasized the importance of joint efforts to elevate their relationship to a strategic partnership level.

Minister Mirzoyan highlighted the recent intensification of Armenia-US relations, noting: "The relations between our countries have recently been evolving with intensive dynamics, enriched by new dimensions, building on strategic dialogue. We are keen to further enhance our active engagement in various domains."

Regional issues were also on the agenda, including the normalization process between Armenia and Azerbaijan.
