Armenia prioritizes regional cooperation, integration - speaker
YEREVAN May 23
Armenia rivets much attention to regional cooperation and integration
processes, parliament speaker Samvel Nikoyan said.
Opening a plenary session of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation
Parliamentary Assembly (BSEC) on Wednesday, Nikoyan said being one of
the founders of BSEC, Armenia "prioritizes regional cooperation and
integration processes".
"Many common values and purposes, including ensuring peace and
stability in the Black Sea region and good-neighbourliness between the
countries of the region, unite the BSEC member-states," the parliament
speaker said.
"Multilateral cooperation and parliamentary diplomacy assume paramount
significance. Being one of the internationally recognized regional
organisations, BSEC expands its activities every year," Nikoyan
stressed.
The speaker recalled that the BSEC legislative activity aimed at
developing economic and trade cooperation in the Black Sea region
"should facilitate the resolution of our internal problems, trust and
mutual relationship between our countries". "Relying on this we are
moving towards bolstering regional cooperation", Nikoyan said.
In his words, "the National Assembly of Armenia is taking ongoing
steps towards improving legislation in order to further liberalise the
economy and trade, encouraging interaction in social welfare, in
politics, culture, education and the environment."
The speaker noted the active work of the BSEC three specialized
commission during Armenia's presidency in the Parliamentary Assembly.
The participants in the session discussed reports related to economic,
social and legal spheres. BSEC members, as well as the staff of the
Assembly's international secretariat, represented it in several
international organizations, Nikoyan pointed out.
