FRENCH DEVELOPMENT AGENCY TO OPERATE IN ARMENIA- PRESIDENT
YEREVAN, November 15. /ARKA/. The French Development Agency will start
its performance in Armenia, and the state authorities are ready to
support it, Armenia's president Serzh Sargsyan said at the meeting
with the representatives of the French business community in Lyon,
according to the President's office.
"We pin great hopes on the activities of that Agency since we are
aware of its capabilities, since we are aware of the desire of the
French leadership and since we are ready to do our best to make the
Agency's activities in Armenia a success," President Sargsyan said.
According to President Sargsyan, the Armenian-French Business Club
has been functioning in Armenia since last year, and yesterday the
President of France Francois Hollande suggested transforming it into
the Trade and Industry Chamber.
"We accept that proposal with great pleasure. The Club provides
professional and information support, organizes regular thematic
roundtables and serves to strengthen the French business community
in Armenia and ensure a greater involvement of the French companies
in the Armenian market."
Mr. Sargsyan also spoke of recent initiatives and developments
which were of interest for the entrepreneurs of France and Lyon
in particular, implemented reforms, Armenian-French economic ties,
historical trade relations and prospects of deepening these relations.
Serzh Sargsyan noted that if existing Armenian-French potential in
that area is fully and efficiently realized, economic opportunities
of independent Armenia will allow to increase considerably, even
multiply the turnover between the two countries.
In the framework of his official visit to France, President
Serzh Sargsyan on November 13 left for Lyon, which has a large and
well-organized Armenian community, where he met with the Mayor of Lyon,
Senator Gerard Collomb.
The French Development Agency is a financial institution that provides
