Pakistan's first ambassador to Armenia, Shafqat Ali Khan, has formally presented his diplomatic credentials to President Vahagn Khachaturyan, marking Armenia's recognition of Pakistan's sovereignty. During a formal ceremony at the presidential palace, President Khachaturyan warmly welcomed Ambassador Khan and expressed his best wishes for a successful tenure.
