YEREVAN, AUGUST 6, ARMENPRESS: President Serzh Sargsyan received
today Sheikh Saud Bin Sakr al Kasimi, the Ras al Khaima emirate’s
successor to the throne and the United Arab Emirate’s (U.A.E.) deputy
prime minister, and members of his entourage.
The presidential press service quoted Serzh Sargsyan as saying that he
was pleased with dynamically developing relations between Armenia and
the UA.E., saying also various-level reciprocal visits and partnership
projects have become more frequent in recent years.
"Armenia has always been striving to have friendly relations with
the Arab world, including Gulf countries and this is a historical
strive," he said. The Armenian president described the achievements
of the U.A.E. in recent years as impressive.
Stressing that there is a big potential for both countries to boost
their relations, President Sargsyan emphasized its full use. He said
the fact that trade between the two countries doubled in the last
six months is the testament of more active contacts between their
business people.
Sheikh Saud Bin Sakr al Kasimi thanked for the support of Armenia
to U.A.E.’s companies operating in Armenia expressing hope that
this partnership will continue. He said his country seeks to create
an environment of prosperity, stability and economic growth and is
cooperating with those countries which pursue these same objectives.
The two men spoke also about joint programs in development of tourism,
mining and other industrial sectors. Sargsyan said foreign investments
in Armenia bring not only new jobs and experience but also a new
quality and new culture. He pledged his government’s support to
these projects.
