On November 6 RA Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian, who is visiting
Finland within the official delegation headed by President Robert
Kocharyan, met with Finnish counterpart Ilkka Kanerva.

The parties discussed the process of OSCE reforms, the Armenian-Finnish
political relations, underlining the necessity to continue the
high-level contacts between the two countries.

Minister Oskanian laid special emphasis on the cooperation with
Finland in the framework of the Armenia-EU Action Plan.

The parties expressed willingness to foster the bilateral trade and
economic relations, stating that unlike the political dialogue, the
volume of economic cooperation is not large. However, the commodity
turnover between Armenia and Finland has been growing over the
past years.

RA Foreign Minister presented the current stage of the negotiations
on Nagorno Karabakh and the perspectives of resolution. Reference
was made to Armenian-Turkish relations.
