Yerevan, 7 June: The speaker of the Armenian National Assembly, Artur
Bagdasaryan, today received the newly-appointed Swedish ambassador to
Armenia, Johan Molander, and the Armenian ambassador to Sweden,
Vladimir Karmirshalyan.

During the meeting Bagdasaryan informed Molander of the reforms that
are under way in the country and touched on the process of
constitutional amendments. The Armenian speaker said that Armenia’s
inclusion in the programme Expanded Europe: New Neighbours is creating
new opportunities for democratic reforms and expansion of economic
development, the press service of the Armenian National Assembly
reported.

Bagdasaryan said that Armenia needed Swedish experience and
assistance, specifically in the sphere of legislation.

In turn, the Swedish ambassador to Armenia said his country was ready
to help Armenia in the processes of reforms and implementation of

legislation which meet Council of Europe standards will open up new
prospects for the progress of Armenia and boost investment.

The sides also stressed the effective work of the Swedish Development
Agency in Armenia.
