    An Armenian-French conference on decentralized cooperation kicked off
    in Yerevan today. A 130-member French delegation comprising heads of
    25 local self-government bodies of France has arrived in Armenia to
    participate in the forum.

    Armenian Deputy Prime Minister Armen Gevorgyan, Foreign Minister Edward
    Nalbandian, Mayor of Yerevan Gagik Beglaryan delivered opening remarks.

    >From the French side speeches were made by French Ambassador to
    Armenia Serge Smessow and Hubert Julien-Laferrière, president of
    the French commission organizing the Armenian-French conference on
    decentralized cooperation.

    French Ambassador Serge Smessow read out the address of the Minister
    of Foreign and European Affairs of France Bernard Kouchner to the
    participants of the conference.

    Greeting the attendees, Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian
    stated: "Our today's meeting takes me back to October 2006, when
    we organized the first conference on Armenian-French decentralized
    cooperation at the French Senate within the framework of the Year of
    Armenia in France."

    Minister Nalbandian attached importance to the cooperation between
    Armenian and French cities as an important component of interstate
    relations.

    The Armenian Foreign Minister appreciated the fact that more than fifty
    programs are being implemented in the fields of education, culture,
    tourism, economy, healthcare and agriculture every year within the
    framework of the decentralized cooperation between the two countries.

    Edward Nalbandian highly appreciated the adoption of the Charter of
    Armenian-French Decentralized Cooperation, voicing confidence that
    it will become an important mechanism of development of decentralized
    cooperation.
