Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan attended the opening ceremony of the Armenian National Youth Forum 2025 at the Gabriel Sundukyan National Academic Theatre.

Organized by the Office of the High Commissioner for Diaspora Affairs, the Forum runs from August 5 to 7. It hosts 600 Diaspora Armenian youth, aged 18 to 35, from over 50 countries. They will be joined by 200 participants from Armenia throughout the forum.

In his speech, the Prime Minister welcomed the participants and introduced the concept of the “Real Armenia.” He also answered questions from the audience addressing topics related to his keynote message—including Armenia-Diaspora relations, the Government’s response to current challenges, and key regional developments.

The forum aims to spotlight discussion of key issues on the pan-Armenian youth agenda, expand collaboration between youth circles in Armenia and the Diaspora, promote the engagement of Diaspora youth in Armenia’s development, and elevate the role of young people within the framework of Armenia–Diaspora cooperation.
