    YEREVAN, 21st February, 2015 (WAM) -- President Serzh Sargsyan of
    Armenia received on Friday a delegation from the UAE Chess Federation
    (UAECF), headed by its Chairman Saeed Mohammed bin Murshid al Meqbali,
    in the presence of the UAE Ambassador to Yerevan, Dr. Jassem Mohammed
    Al Qasimi. President Sargsyan was briefed on the cooperation between
    the UCF and the Armenian Chess Federation (ACF).

    Armenian news agency Panorama Am reported that President Sargsyan
    welcomed the delegation, expressing satisfaction with the fact that
    during his meeting with the UAE Ambassador, held a day earlier, he had

    to Armenia-UAE relations and cooperation prospects, and was very glad
    that sports, especially chess, was among the areas up for
    collaboration.

    Saeed Al Meqbali noted that he was very impressed with the Armenians'
    special inclination towards chess, the first successful experience of
    introducing chess in the curriculum of secondary schools and, in
    general, with the nationwide efforts to popularize the culture of
    playing chess, regardless of age.

    According to the UAECF Chairman, the UAE was highly interested in
    exploring Armenia's exemplary practice in chess and applying it
    domestically. He added that UAE businessmen were interested in
    investing in Armenia's chess sector. Saeed Al Meqbali said that the
    sector's success was also the result of the intensive activities of
    the Armenian Chess Federation and its president.

    President Sargsyan hailed the UAE's interest and desire to advance
    Armenian-UAE cooperation in chess. He expressed readiness to support
    to the maximum programmes for exchange of experience and joint
    projects.

    Federation. The document was signed by Smbat Lputian, First Vice

    Al Meqbali.
