The settlement of the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict and normalisation of relations between Armenia and Azerbaijan were also touched upon.

The interlocutors have also touched upon the Armenian-Egyptian bilateral agenda. In this context, the interlocutors commended the Armenian-Egyptian high level political dialogue, the active interaction between the Foreign Ministries of the two countries based on mutual trust.
