During a meeting with Armenian Prime Minister Andranik Margarian
in Yerevan on Wednesday, Lithuanian President Valdas Adamkus said
Lithuania was interested in using the possibilities of economic
cooperation with Armenia better.

According to a press release from the Lithuanian president’s press
service, it was noted at the meeting that bilateral political dialogue
between the countries was quite intensive and was taking place at
the highest level, but the potential of both countries in the field
of economic cooperation was not used.

The president said that Lithuania was ready to share its reform and
Euro-integration experience with Armenia. Adamkus invited Armenian
institutions and business representatives to cooperate with their
colleagues and experts from Lithuania more actively.

Adamkus expressed hope that the Lithuanian-Armenian intergovernmental
agreement on the promotion and protection of investments signed
during his visit would be one more factor that would facilitate
economic cooperation.
