Armenian President Vahagn Khachaturyan has signed decrees appointing the members of the country's new government, formed following the parliamentary elections. Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan will continue to lead the Cabinet, while most key ministers have retained their portfolios, ensuring continuity in governance and stability within the executive branch.

The new government includes Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan, Defense Minister Suren Papikyan, Finance Minister Vahe Hovhannisyan, Interior Minister Arpine Sargsyan, Economy Minister Gevorg Papoyan, Health Minister Anahit Avanesyan, and Minister of Education, Science, Culture and Sports Zhanna Andreasyan. However, following the formation of Armenia's new government, Minister of High-Tech Industry Mkhitar Hayrapetyan left his post and was replaced by Davit Tadevosyan. Mher Grigoryan and Tigran Khachatryan have also been reappointed as Deputy Prime Ministers.

The retention of the core ministerial team reflects the government's intention to ensure the consistent implementation of reforms launched in previous years. The Cabinet will continue to focus on modernizing the economy, advancing digital transformation in public administration, developing high-tech industries, attracting foreign investment, and implementing large-scale infrastructure projects.

Economic reform remains one of the government's top priorities. In recent years, Armenia has recorded sustained economic growth, rising exports, increased investment, and rapid expansion of its IT sector and industrial production. The government aims to build on these achievements by improving the business environment, supporting entrepreneurship, and advancing major transport and logistics initiatives.

In foreign policy, the Pashinyan government will continue its strategy of diversifying Armenia's international partnerships by strengthening ties with the European Union, the United States, India, and the Middle East, while maintaining pragmatic relations with regional partners. Promoting a peace agenda in the South Caucasus and creating new economic opportunities for the region will remain among the government's key priorities.

 

According to representatives of the ruling team, the new Cabinet combines experience and continuity with a commitment to further reforms. In the coming months, the government is expected to present its policy program outlining priorities for socio-economic development, strengthening state institutions, and improving the quality of life for Armenia's citizens.
