YEREVAN, MAY 17, NOYAN TAPAN. During the May 17 meeting, the
Armenian prime minister Serge Sargsian and the newly appoined
Romania’s ambassador extraordinary and plenipotentiary to Armenia
Krina Prunariu noted that Armenian-Romanian relations are developing
under conditions of a constant dialog. Speaking about the trade and
economic relations between the two countries, they said that unlike
a tendency to become active, which has been observed in the political
dialog, the economic cooperation and the current volume of commodity
turnover between Armenia and Romania are still unsatisfactory and do
not reflect the real opportunities of the sides.
The Armenian prime minister and the Romanian ambassador underlined
the importance of participation of all countries of the Black Sea
region in efforts to promote the regional cooperation and strengthen
the development and stability of the region. In this context, they
discussed Armenia’s participation in economic programs implemented
under the aegis of the European Union.
