    Yerevan, 8 February: Armenian Speaker Artur Bagdasaryan today met
    parliamentarians of the upper and lower chambers of Bahrain's
    parliament. The chairman of the lower chamber of the Bahraini
    parliament said that relations between Armenia and Bahrain could be
    developing in the trade and economic spheres.

    He said that in Bahrain there are specialists who studied in Armenian
    institutions of higher education, and the kingdom is interested in
    continuing cooperation in the scientific and education spheres.

    The chairman of the upper house of the Bahraini parliament (?Abdul
    Hamad al-Jufayni), also spoke out in favour of developing relations
    with Armenia in all spheres. He said that the first visit of the
    Armenian delegation will lay the foundations of the development of
    bilateral relations.

    The Armenian and Bahraini parliaments today signed an agreement which
    will strengthen the legal field of friendly relations between the two
    countries' parliaments within the framework of the newly-established
    commission.

    Artur Bagdasaryan also met Bahraini Prime Minister Shaykh Khalifah
    Bin-Salman Al Khalifah. The shaykh said that Armenia and Bahrain
    have similar positions regarding the countries of the region. The
    Bahraini prime minister voiced his readiness to defend Armenia's
    initiatives. Specifically, the League of Arab States will be informed
    of Armenia's desire to set up a centre of Arab culture in Yerevan.

    Today's meeting of the Armenian delegation ended with a reception
    at the residence of King Shaykh Salman Hamad Bin-Isa Bin-Salman Al
    Khalifah. Bagdasaryan conveyed Armenian President Robert Kocharyan's
    greetings to the king and invited him to visit Armenia, which was
    accepted with gratitude.

    The king stressed that with the aim of speeding up Armenian-Bahraini
    relations and developing friendly ties between the parliamentarians
    of the two countries, he is ready to send experts of the Bahraini
    parliament to Armenia to participate in the second session of the
    Armenian National Assembly. The king also expressed his wish to open
    an Armenian trade centre in Bahrain.
