COOPERATION AGREEMENT TO BE SIGNED BETWEEN YEREVAN AND ST.PETERSBURG
YEREVAN, SEPTEMBER 14. ARMINFO. A three-year cooperation agreement
will be signed between Yerevan and St.Petersburg, says Governor of
Leningrad region Valentina Matvienko who is presently visiting
Yerevan.
A special working group for cooperation programs development will be
set up in 2-3 months. "We are going to enlarge our cooperation with
Yerevan in various spheres - culture, science, IT and telecoms. For
this we have not only a historical base but also an economic
potential," says Matvienko.
She says that Yerevan and St.Petersburg are interested in enlarging
their trade-economic ties. Today their trade turnover is only $9 mln
but this index has grown by 15% in the last year and is tending to
grow further.
Matvienko says that she has agreed with Mayor of Yerevan Yervand
Zakharyan on the construction of the House of St.Petersburg in
Yerevan and vice versa.
They have also agreed to organize a meeting of Armenian and Russian
businessmen for them to draft joint projects and consider investing
possibilities.
Matvienko is convinced that the Armenian community of St.Petersburg
will make a big contribution to the enlargement of
Yerevan-St.Petersburg cooperation. She says that the Year of Russia
in Armenia and the Days of St.Petersburg in Yerevan will be a good
stimulus for intensifying bilateral relations and implementing joint
projects.
