EURO 50M TRADE TURNOVER TOO MODEST FOR ARMENIA AND FRANCE - JEAN-FRANCOIS CHARPANTIER
14:04 * 04.02.15
France and Armenia need to deepen their economic relations and,
although this is the priority aspect of the bilateral relations,
EURO 50m trade is a most modest figure, French Ambassador to Armenia
Jean-Francois Charpantier told reporters on Wednesday.
He points out the need for employing instruments at the disposal
of Armenia and France, specifically the French-Armenian Chamber
of Commerce and Industry (Chambre de Commerce et d'Industrie
Franco-Armenienne), as well as the Armenian-French Business Club
operating in Armenia. A number of France-based economic entities are
among the club members.
As to a possible impact of Armenia's EEU membership on the Carrefour
S.A. network, Mr Charpantier said that he has not seen any calculations
that prove that Armenia-EU relations are being affected.
The Foundation for Armenia's Development is a major structure
contributing to Armenian-French economic ties, and he recently had
a meeting with the newly appointed director.
In the last three months, Mr Charpantier he had held meetings with
Armenian MPs, NGOs, which enabled him to specify his aims as French
ambassador to Armenia.
Armenia is going to host a week of French business this spring. One of
the areas to be discussed is land cultivation, which will certainly
be of interest to Armenia, where wine-making is one of the major
agricultural trades.
Education is the second component.
To help Armenia solve the irrigation problem, France will construct
a reservoir and bring its investments in Armenia up to EURO 1m before
the end of this year.
This year is to see at least three significant events: first,
French President Francois Hollande's presence at the events marking
the Armenian Genocide centennial; second, an EU Eastern Partnership
Summit in Riga, Latvia. An attempt to specify further steps to develop
Armenia-EU relations will be made there.
The third event is a summit of the International Organization of La
Francophonie. As a full member of the organization, Armenia will host
the summit this October.
