/PanARMENIAN.Net/ The Armenian Ministry of Foreign Affairs hosted an
exhibition dedicated to the 90th anniversary of establishment of the
Armenian-Ukrainian diplomatic relations.
Deputy Foreign Minister Gegham Gharibjanian and his Ukrainian
counterpart Konstantin Yeliseyev, diplomats, politicians and scientists
attended the exhibit of archives and photos presenting the history
of bilateral relations.
In his remarks, Mr Gharibjanian said that although Armenia and Ukraine
obtained independence not long ago, diplomatic relations between
the First Republic of Armenia and People’s Republic of Crimea were
established in 1918. "We have rich experience and will promote our
bilateral relations and cooperation within international structures,"
he said.
For his part, Mr Yeliseyev said the exhibition testifies of the
importance Ukraine attaches to relations with Armenia and partnership
in various fields. "The 90th university is not a mere formality.
This is the evidence of our friendship and basis for bright future,"
the Ukrainian Deputy Foreign Minister said.
The opening ceremony was followed by consultations on the forthcoming
session of the joint intergovernmental commission for economic
development.
It’s notable that with Ukraine ranking the third among Armenia’s trade
partners, the commodity turnover between the two countries amounted
to $250 million.
