Inter-regional coop to boost Russia-Armenia relations - minister
YEREVAN October 13
Inter-regional cooperation will boost bilateral relations between
Russia and Armenia, primarily economic ones, Russian Transport
Minister Maxim Sokolov said.
"Given historically close economic and cultural ties between our
countries, a serious effect can be achieved through intensified
interaction and mutually advantageous use of the potential of Russian
and Armenian regions," Sokolov said at the 2nd Russian-Armenian
inter-regional forum "Russia and Armenia" Inter-Regional
Dialogue-2012" on Saturday.
He leads the Russian part of the inter-governmental commission on
economic cooperation between Russia and Armenia. "In order to
coordinate this work and its serious aspect we have created with the
Inter-governmental Commission the working group on inter-regional
economic cooperation," the minister said.
It convened for its first meeting in Gyumri in March of this year.
Sokolov believes that the inter-governmental commission "is an
effective tool for creating favourable conditions for developing
contacts between the authorities, businesses and regions".
"The objective of the inter-governmental commission is to summarise
the work done in the field of trade and economic cooperation, expose
problems, determine prospects for the development of industries or
concrete projects and support these projects," the minister said.
The inter-governmental commission traditionally meets in Russian
regions. It has held its latest sessions in Yaroslavl, Yekaterinburg
and Rostov-on-Don.
