The Prime Minister of Armenia, Tigran Sargsyan, received the Deputy
Foreign Minister of Italy, Alfredo Mantica and his delegation.

The Prime Minister noted that our country’s relations with Italy have
entered a new stage today, and Armenia is interested in promoting
the Armenian-Italian cooperation, especially in the field of economy.

Tigran Sargsyan and Alfredo Mantica underlined that although a number
of Italian companies are doing business in Armenia, the current
level of economic relations is far from being sufficient and does
not correspond to the potential of our countries.

The interlocutors informed each other about the steps taken in Armenia
and Italy in the direction of overcoming the global economic crisis.

During the meeting reference was made to Armenian-Italian cooperation
within the framework of the eastern Partnership Initiative, issues
of regional stability and security.

Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan presented Armenia’s position on the
peaceful settlement of the Karabakh conflict, and the Armenian-Turkish
relations.
