President Serzh Sargsyan had a meeting with the Presidents of the
Senate and the House of Representatives of Belgium Armand De Decker
and German van Rompuy.
The parties highly assessed the bilateral Armenian-Belgian relations,
emphasizing the role of the Armenian community in the reinforcement
of those ties.
The Armenian President expressed appreciation for both bilateral
political and economic relations and the effective cooperation within
international organizations. During the meeting reference was made
to regional issues, the settlement of the Karabakh conflict, the
Armenian-Turkish political dialogue.
Serzh Sargsyan expressed gratitude to the Belgian Government for
supporting the OSCE Minsk Group efforts and the balanced approach on
the Karabakh issue.
Serzh Sargsyan turned to the Armenian-Belgian economic cooperation,
noting that Belgium is the leader among EU member states with regard
to commodity turnover with Armenia.
The parties emphasized the importance of further development of
interparliamentary ties as an important component of deepening of
bilateral relations. According to them, the latest developments in the
region once again proved that the military way of conflict resolution
is non-perspective and the existing problems should be solved through
political dialogue.
