RA Prime Minister Serge Sargsyan received the Foreign Minister of
Latvia Artis Pabriks.
The Foreign Minister of Latvia expressed hope that the newly appointed
Prime Minister of Armenia will continue developing the economic
cooperation in the same spirit as the effective cooperation in the
defense sphere between the two countries.
Considering the volume of commodity turnover between Armenia
and Latvia as small and insufficient, Artis Pabriks noted that
through implementation of joint programs, improvement of transport
communication and deepening of cooperation in other fields it is
possible to considerably change the situation.
Emphasizing the issue of transport communication as the most painful
one, Prime Minister Serge Sargsyan suggested to develop the cooperation
in perspective and mutually beneficial spheres like information
technologies, the finance and banking sectors.
The interlocutors attached importance to the cooperation in the
framework of European integration. They stressed the role of the
Armenian community in reinforcing the relations between Armenia
and Latvia.
Mr. Pabriks showed interest in the pre-election situation in Armenia
and wished success, expressing hope that the elections will succeed.
