On July 19, the Minister of Foreign Affairs Edward Nalbandian received
the Mayor of Lyon Gerard Collomb.
Welcoming the guest, Edward Nalbandian mentioned that Armenia has
always had a peculiar feeling towards both France and the French
people, which is due to the strong friendly ties historically
established between the two countries and close interstate cooperation
existing today.
The Minister of Foreign Affairs stressed the importance of the
development of the comprehensive Armenian-French cooperation,
particularly underlining the considerable achievements in the spheres
of political, economic, cultural, educational and decentralized
interaction.
The sides touched upon the second conference on the Armenian-French
decentralized cooperation held in Yerevan in 2010, noting that the
regularity of such events gives a new impetus to bilateral relations.
The interlocutors also stressed the importance of the significant
contribution of the Armenian community in France to the development
of interstate relations. In this regard, Gerard Collomb underscored
the investments of the French Armenians in the development of France
and the city which is governed by him.
Expressing satisfaction with the intensive cooperation between
Yerevan and Lyon, Edward Nalbandian and Gerard Collomb touched upon
the preparatory works of the general assembly of Francophone cities
to be held in Yerevan in autumn of this year.
