dinner with Armenian and French businessmen.
"The Armenian-French cooperation of many centuries is anchored on
religious and cultural commonalities. Those commonalities are so
deep that the geographical position has never been an obstacle for
continuous reinforcement of the friendship," President Serzh Sargsyan
said in his address.
"Invaluable is the role of France in development of Armenia. Armenia
has always attached importance to expansion of commercial and economic
relations with France, and this meeting will contribute to it. France
is a trade and big investment partner of Armenia and occupies the
second place with the volume of investments in Armenia's economy. 155
Armenian-French joint ventures are registered in Armenia. We have
successful examples of French investments in almost all spheres -
telecommunication, production of drinks, banking, pharmaceuticals,
healthcare, tourism, agriculture, light industry," the President
stated.
In his address the President also referred to the relations between
Armenia and EU. "Armenia-EU relations have moved to a new quality level
by the launch of the Eastern Partnership. This opens new opportunities
for Armenian-French business cooperation," the President said.
Concluding his speech Serzh Sargsyan called on French businessmen to
launch active cooperation with Armenian counterparts.
