By invitation of Robert Kocharian Finnish President Tarja Halonen
arrived in Armenia on a two-day visit.

During today’s meeting the Presidents discussed the Armenian-Finnish
relations, EU-Armenia and exchanged views on number of regional and
international problems.

Mrs. Halonen welcomed the inclusion of Armenia in the New Neighborhood
program and noted that Finland attaches importance to the relations
with the Transcaucasian states, especially taking into account the fact
that next year Finland is assuming presidency in the European Union.

Later the Armenian-Finnish talks were continued in an expanded
composition. The parties discussed the priority lines of economic
cooperation and the possibilities of their activation.
