  "summary": "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. Both countries emphasized the potential for expanding bilateral cooperation in trade, investment, education, culture, and people-to-people contacts. The establishment of diplomatic ties comes after Pakistan's decision to recognize Armenia's sovereignty in August 2025, reversing its stance of solidarity with Azerbaijan in the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.",
