Today newly appointed Korean Ambassador to Armenia Mr. Kim Jae-Sup
(residence in Moscow) handed his credentials to Robert Kocharyan.

Robert Kocharyan congratulated the Ambassador and expressed hope that
within the tenure of the office the Armenian-Korean will enter a new
phase. The President noted that though during the recent two years
the commodity turnover between the two states has increased twice,
steps for full cooperation should be undertaken.

The Ambassador noted the importance of the economic cooperation and
said he will exert every effort to consolidate the Armenian-Korean
ties.

Mr. Kim Jae-Sup also met with Armenian Foreign Minister Vardan
Oskanyan.
