YEREVAN, MAY 20, ARMENPRESS: Prime Minister Tigran Sarkisian received
today Latvia's outgoing ambassador to Armenia Aivars Vovers.
The government press office told Armenpress that the prime minister
thanked the ambassador for his work and effective cooperation in
Armenia expressing also confidence that Mr. Vovers will promote
strengthening of Latvian-Armenian ties in future as well.
Tigran Sarkisian stressed that being Latvia's first ambassador to
Armenia, Mr. Vovers has created solid grounds for development of
bilateral diplomatic relations, which allows to give a new push to
cooperation in other areas. According to the prime minister, Latvia's
experience in European integration is of cognitive importance for
Armenia. He said Armenia is interested in Latvian reforms.
In Aivars Vovers's opinion, both Armenia and Latvia have seen tangible
changes in the last years. Latvia has become EU and NATO member, while
Armenia has joined the Council of Europe and has achieved also tangible
economic progress and has advanced on the road of European integration.
According to him, Latvia is closely watching these processes which,
he said, are a good basis for both countries for future cooperation.
Reminding that Armenia joined the Council of Europe during Latvia's
chairmanship in the Council of Europe and that Latvia assisted
Armenia in it, ambassador Vovers assured that his country will
continue to assist Armenia in its efforts to seek closer ties with
European organizations.
He expressed satisfaction that he managed to promote strengthening
of Armenian-Latvian relationships. He said Armenia and Latvia
exchanged high level visits and grounds were created for prompting
inter-parliamentary relations as well, also among foreign and defense
ministries.
He said the sides will have to work, however, to step up their economic
contacts. At the end of the meeting Prime Minister Tigran Sarkisian
wished success to the outgoing ambassador.
