"Armenia-EU cooperation remains one of the key courses of country’s
foreign policy; the EU is a reliable political and economic partner to
Armenia; and the increasing number of EU-officials’ visits to Armenia
is evidence of mutuality of this interest," Armenia’s Foreign Minister
Edward Nalbandian said at the joint conference with EU Commissioner
for Enlargement and European Neighborhood Policy Stefan Fule, who is
on a visit to Armenia.

Minister Nalbandian said that Stefan Fule’s visit to Armenia is a
good cause to discuss items of cooperation between Armenia and the
European Union, especially on the eve of Armenian President’s visit
to Brussels. He stressed the importance of signing the agreement on
free trade, simplification of the visa-application process and pointed
the importance of holding talks on association agreements with the EU.

Parties also discussed a range of international and regional issues.
