with the Chancellor of Germany Angela Merkel. The Chancellor was
interested in the process of settlement of the Karabakh conflict, the

Armenian-Russian relations, particularly in the context of the latest
developments.

The commodity turnover between the two countries has reached $350
million and about 100 joint companies function in Armenia. Different
programs are being implemented in Armenia with Germany's support.'
Minister Nalbandian said regional and international issues were also
discussed. Chancellor Merkel invited the President of the Republic of
Armenia to pay an official visit to Germany in the near future.
The diplomatic relations between Armenia and Germany have a history of
about 17 years. The political contacts between the two countries got
particularly active over the past years, when a number of high-level
visits took place. Today the Armenian-German relations are reinforced
by 29 agreements, another five are in the stage of elaboration.
The Armenian-German Intergovernmental Commission on Financial and
Technical Cooperation has been functioning for a long time. Germany has

in the world, our countries will manage to ensure the continuousness of
the Armenian-Germen programs, which are targeted at development and are
of vital importance for Armenia's economy and the public sector.
