On November 20, National Assembly Speaker Hovik Abrahamyan welcomed
Lithuania’s Minister of Foreign Affairs Vygaudas UÅ¡ackas, who was in
Yerevan on an official visit, according to a announcement by the
Republic of Armenia National Assembly public relations and information
department.
Greeting the delegation headed by the minister, Abrahamyan expressed
hope that this visit will become a stimulus to develop and strengthen
relations between Armenia and Lithuania. The Armenian parliamentary
speaker placed great importance on cooperation with Lithuania, both in
a bilateral format, as well as in the broader context of the European
Union.
The parties agreed that bilateral trade-economic relations are perhaps
weak and both sides should make efforts to strengthen ties in this
sphere.
During their meeting, Abrahamyan and UÅ¡ackas also discussed Armenia’s
European integration process, the establishment process of
Armenia-Turkey relations without preconditions, as well as the
Nagorno-Karabakh conflict.
