Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan, who is in Chile on an official
visit, on Friday met with his Chilean counterpart, Michelle Bachelet.
Prior to the meeting, however, Sargsyan visited and laid a wreath to
the monument of Chile's national hero, General Bernardo O'Higgins.
Following the Armenian President's official welcoming ceremony at
the Chilean Presidential Palace, the two presidents held a meeting.
They discussed the prospects for the strengthening of interstate ties
and development of cooperation between Armenia and Chile.
President Sargsyan stressed that his visit is aimed at starting a
new phase in bilateral relations.
The interlocutors underscored the need to form a legal and contractual
framework between the two countries, and considered collaboration in
several domains to be full of prospect.
In the Armenian President's conviction, also important is the fact
that Armenia's and Chile's positions are alike on universal matters.
The striking proof of this, as per President Sargsyan, is Chile's
formal recognition--in 2007--of the Armenian Genocide.
The presidents also highlighted the small Chilean-Armenian community's
role in the development of friendly relations between the two
countries.
At the end of the talk, and in the presence of the presidents of the
two countries, the Armenian and Chilean foreign ministers signed a
memorandum of understanding on cooperation between the MFAs of the
two countries.
Subsequently, Chile President Michelle Bachelet held an official
dinner in honor of Armenia President Serzh Sargsyan.
