Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan met with Chilean President Michelle
Bachelet on July 11 during his official visit to the Republic of Chile,
the Armenian president's press service reports.
Prior to the meeting, S. Sargsyan laid a wreath at Statue of Chilean
National Hero General Bernardo O'Higgins.
The presidents of Armenia and Chile discussed a wide range of issues
related to strengthening of bilateral relations.
Noting with regret that Armenian-Chilean relations have developed at
an undesirable rate since the declaration of Armenia's independence,
the interlocutors shared the opinion that nowadays even a geographic
distance is not an obstacle anymore, especially as both peoples have
built their development path on the basis of the same values. The
Armenian president said his visit aims to fill that gap and start a
new stage of relations for the development of bilateral ties.
The sides underlined the importance of the creation of a legal and
contractual framework between Armenia and Chile.
The sides considered cooperation in a number of spheres, including
agriculture - particularly wine-making, as having good prospects. In
the context of expanding Armenian-Chilean cooperation, the presidents
of Armenia and Chile attached importance to the encouragement and
promotion of cooperation in education, science, culture, tourism
and sports.
The Armenian president said the fact that Armenia and Chile have
similar approaches and positions on most important universal issues
is crucial from the viewpoint of strengthening the interstate links,
and one striking demonstration is the official recognition of the
Armenian Genocide by Chile in 2007.
The interlocutors underscored the modest but special role of the small
Armenian community of Chile in the promotion of friendly relations.
At the conclusion of the meeting, the foreign ministers of the two
countries signed a memorandum of understanding on cooperation between
Foreign Ministries of Armenia and Chile.
