YEREVAN, OCTOBER 25, ARMENPRESS. Prime Ministers of Armenia and Russia Nikol Pashinyan and Dmitry Medvedev met today in Moscow on the sidelines of the session of the Eurasian Inter-governmental Council.

Welcoming the Armenian PM, Dmitry Medvedev thanked Armenia for the chairmanship at the Council.

“Assuming that chairmanship is a unique art itself because there can be certain situations. You worthily continued the process after others. This is a good occasion to discuss also the commercial relations, investments and relationships between our countries. In general, everything is developing successfully between our countries, but it doesn’t mean that there is nothing to improve. There are some issues which should be discussed, and I will do that with pleasure”, the Russian PM said.

In his turn the Armenian PM thanked for the warm welcome and stated that Armenia completes its chairmanship at the Council.

“I would like to state that it was productive because this year the EAEU-Iran agreement entered into force, we also signed an agreement with Singapore, today signed a free trade agreement with Serbia. I think the talks with some of our partners are going on at a good pace. I am convinced that the geography of countries that have agreements with the EAEU will expand. This is a good occasion also to discuss the bilateral relations of our countries”, Pashinyan said.
