Armenian prime minister Tigran Sarkisian said Sunday his Czech
counterpart, Jan Fischer, will visit Armenia in the near future. Asked
by journalists to comment on his last week trip to the Czech republic
and his talks with Jan Fischer Tigran Sarkisian said the meeting
opened a new page in Armenian-Czech relations.

‘During our talks we have managed to specify the agenda of our
bilateral relations in economic and political cooperation,’ Sarkisian
said, adding that a specified agenda would make Jan Fischer’s visit
more effective and would allow to achieve agreements that would in
turn create favorable conditions for economic and political partnership
of both countries.

He specified that the countries will sign agreements concerning
protection of investments and avoiding double taxation.

There are 11 companies in Armenia with Czech capital and 10 plants
in the Czech republic with Armenian capital. Armenian exports to the
Czech republic this year have amounted to $103,600 while import from
it totaled $1.1 million.
