Latvia has accumulated valuable experience of euro-integration and
reforms, and is ready to share this experience with Armenia, Saeima
Chairwoman Solvita Aboltina said during a meeting with Speaker of
the National Assembly of Armenia Hovik Abrahamyan yesterday.
"Latvia and Armenia enjoy excellent bilateral relations, and both
countries are interested to further develop these relations on not
only political, but also economic, cultural and education levels,"
said Aboltina, as Saeima Press Service informed LETA.
Latvia considers Armenia an important cooperation partner in the South
Caucasus and both countries have developed successful cooperation
on the parliamentary level, said Aboltina, noting that this was once
again proven by Abrahamyan's visit to Latvia.
Discussing opportunities to foster economic cooperation between both
countries, Aboltina said Latvia was interested in the development of
the relations, adding that Latvian-Armenian trade volumes had been
growing the past few years. Both countries have signed agreements on
the protection of investments and avoidance of double taxation. Latvia
supports the signing of Armenia's association treaty with the European
Union that will take place in Vilnius later this year, said Aboltina.
Closing the meeting, Aboltina said that Latvia had always emphasized
the need for closer relations between the EU and neighbor countries
in the south, and wished Abrahamyan every success at the Eastern
Partnership Summit due this fall.
