New French Ambassador to Armenia Serge Smessow presented his
credentials to Armenian President Robert Kocharyan, Tuesday.
The Armenian presidential press-service told ArmInfo that Robert
Kocharyan congratulated the Ambassador on his appointment and wished
him success in his high mission. The sides consider that the relations
between the two countries may be called fine, which is proved by
French President Jacques Chirac’s recent visit to Yerevan, the Year
of Armenia in France, as well as the Armenian President’s official
visit to France next year.
Robert Kocharyan said that a high level of the political dialogue
in the two countries is displayed in the economic, cultural and
humanitarian spheres. He noted that the economic component of the
bilateral relations has become more substantial during the last years,
and the largest French enterprises are represented in the Armenian
infrastructure.
Speaking of Armenia’s Year in France, President Kocharyan noted
that our country was very seriously getting ready to this event. He
expressed confidence that over five hundred events in different
cities of France will present Armenia in a worthy manner and give
French people better knowledge about the Armenian nation and its
cultural heritage.
In his turn, Ambassador Smessow emphasized that he is ready to
contribute to enlarging the links between Armenia and France in
all spheres.
