    In the framework of his visit to the People's Republic of China, on
    May 2 President Serzh Sargsyan met with the President of the People's
    Republic of China Hu Jintao.

    "For many years you have contributed to reinforcing Armenian-Chinese
    amity," Hu Jintao said, greeting Sezh Sargsyan.

    Reminding that he had meetings with President Sargsyan during his
    visit to Beijing Olympiad and the recent Global Security Summit
    in Washington, PRC President voiced hope that the agreements
    reached during the meetings would contribute to the enhancement of
    Armenia-China cooperation.

    PRC President thanked Serzh Sargsyan for his visit to Shanghai to
    attend the world expo-2010, which, according to Hu Jintao, evidences
    about the attention the Armenian President attaches to Armenian-Chinese
    amity.

    In turn, the President of Armenia expressed his gratitude to President
    Hu Jintao for the invitation to participate at the opening of the
    Shanghai Expo-2010 and congratulated his Chinese counterpart on the
    successful commencement of the Exhibition.

    President Sargsyan said that the enhancement of the relations
    with China is a priority of the Armenian foreign policy and noted
    that bilateral relations have already shown excellent dynamics of
    development. The President of Armenia stressed that the high-level
    political dialogue, active cooperation in social, political, economic,
    cultural, and educational areas, reciprocal support in multilateral
    formats increase mutual understanding and trust between Armenia
    and China.

    The two sides noted with satisfaction that multiple joint projects
    in energy, chemical industry, agriculture, science and technology,
    defense, culture and education spheres are being implemented with great
    success. Serzh Sargsyan and Hu Jintao concurred that the accumulated
    vast Armenian-Chinese experience would serve an excellent base for
    raising the bilateral relations on a qualitatively new level.

    The Presidents discussed issues related to China's participation in the
    construction of the Armenia-Iran railroad. They underscored that the
    launch of the operations of the Armenian-Chinese Shanxi-Nairit joint
    venture in Shanxi province of China proves that bilateral relations
    were developing dynamically.

    The Presidents of Armenia and China reiterated that they were ready to
    undertake additional efforts for the further development of bilateral
    relations.

    On May 3, President Sargsyan will be present at the ceremony of
    inauguration of Shanxi-Nairit plant.

    Prior to his meeting with PRC President, Serzh Sargsyan met with the
    representatives of leading Chinese IT companies May 2.

    Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan received May 2 in his residence in
    China executive director of Huawei Technologies Co. Ltd Lin Rui Chi.

    On the second half of the day the Armenian delegation headed by the
    president visited Zhong Xing Telecommunication Equipment Company
    Limited headquarter office and met with its president Liron Shi.

    These two companies majoring in a number of telecommunication branches
    - production of equipment, electronic management, telecommunication
    systems, etc. are planning to participate in the ambitious programs
    which will be carried out in Armenia's telecommunication sphere.

    President Sargsyan and head of the ZTE company discussed opportunities
    of cooperation. Speaking positively about the interest of the Chinese
    company to start activity in Armenia, Serzh Sargsyan at the same time
    noted that the Armenian side is ready to assist the Chinese companies
    and wants to take part in the production process.

    Together with the head of the "Huawei" company Serzh Sargsyan discussed
    prospects of cooperation. "Huawei" company is a dynamically developing
    company and is interested in starting activity in Armenia.

    Economy Minister Nerses Yeritsyan commented on the discussions and
    the signed memorandum, with participation of President Sargsyan. "The
    three projects we have presented are pretentious, serious projects.

    The company is already in Armenia, the interest did not come
    accidentally, it grew in the course of time. Chinese companies have
    serious means and are aggressively moving to the West," he said,
    adding: "Why not make use of the situation and halt them in Armenia?"
