The Tanaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs and Trade, Eamon Gilmore
T.D., will meet the Foreign Minister of the Republic of Armenia,
Edward Nalbandian, in Iveagh House tomorrow. This will be Minister
Nalbandian's first visit to Ireland.
The Tanaiste will sign a double Taxation Agreement between Ireland
and Armenia as part of the Government's efforts to broaden Ireland's
trade and economic relations. These will also be strengthened by the
conclusion of an Association Agreement between Armenia and the EU
later this year. Commenting on the signing, the Tanaiste said:
"The Double Taxation Agreement is a significant step which will assist
both Irish and Armenian businesses and facilitate bilateral trade and
investment. Irish companies are always looking for opportunities to
grow their businesses into new markets. I have no doubt, therefore,
that the Agreement will have a positive impact on trade and investment
between our two countries."
The Tanaiste and Minister Nalbandian will also have talks on political
issues in the context of Ireland's forthcoming Chairmanship of the
Organisation for Security and Cooperation in Europe (OSCE). It is
expected that these talks will focus on the conflicts in the Southern
Caucasus region, in particular, the long-running dispute between
Armenia and Azerbaijan over Nagorno-Karabakh. The OSCE has been at the
forefront of international efforts to arrive at a settlement of this
dispute and these efforts will directly concern Ireland as OSCE Chair.
Minister Nalbandian will also visit the Dail and Seanad and will
address the Institute of International and European Affairs (IIEA). He
will also visit the Chester Beatty library to view Armenian artefacts
in the collection there.
