Today, the newly appointed Ambassador of the Kingdom of Denmark Michael
Borg-Hansen (residence in Kiev) presented his credentials to President
Serzh Sargsyan.

The President of Armenia congratulated the Ambassador on his
new assignment and noted that Armenia is interested in developing
relations with Denmark in both bilateral and multilateral formats. "We
are striving to invigorate the political dialogue between our two
countries which will undoubtedly bring along more active economic
contacts," the President of Armenia underlined.

According to Serzh Sargsyan, in addition to bilateral relations,
the Armenian-Danish cooperation has plausible perspectives in the
framework of the EU Eastern Partnership program. Concurring with the
President of Armenia, the Danish Ambassador said that it was in line
with the objectives of his government which is one of the supporters
of this Polish-Swedish initiative.

Stressing Denmark’s good will and sympathy toward Armenia, Ambassador
Michael Borg-Hansen underscored his country’s readiness to reinforce
bilateral relations with practical steps. Among the possible areas
of cooperation in the economic sphere he mentioned agriculture,
efficient management and use of energy in which Denmark has acquired
significant experience and could be very helpful.

President Sargsyan said that achievements of Denmark were impressive
and our country would certainly like to use their experience.

The President of Armenia and the Ambassador of Denmark exchanged
also views on the regional developments. Serzh Sargsyan noted with
satisfaction Denmark’s balanced approach toward the regional issues.

The two sides agreed that the best way to solve any problem were
dialogue and cooperation.
