    YEREVAN, Jan 3 (KUNA) -- Armenian Vice-Premier and Co-Chairmn of the
    Armenian-Kuwaiti Intergovernmental Commission Armen Gevorgyan held a
    meeting here last week with the newly appointed Kuwaiti Ambassador to
    Armenia, Basam Muhammad Al-Qabandi.

    Given friendly political relations, Armenia is interested in
    developing economic cooperation with Kuwait as well. Kuwait is the
    first of the Gulf countries Armenia is forming systematized relations,
    news agency TERT.AM of Armenia reported.

    In October, the Armenian-Kuwaiti Intergovernmental Commission held its
    first meeting in Yerevan. Both countries have opened their embassies,
    which is a new impetus for bilateral relations development.

    A delegation of the Armenian Development Agency (ADA) visited Kuwait
    recently and held meetings, and Kuwaiti businessmen visited Armenia to
    study opportunities for cooperation.

    With respect to developing bilateral relations, the two sides stressed
    the importance of establishing direct air communication.
    The two countries signed a relevant agreement at the Intergovernmental
    Commission's maiden meeting. Food export from Armenia to Kuwait and
    cooperation in investment are highly promising. Specifically, Kuwaiti
    companies can be involved in Armenian programs, particularly
    infrastructure programs, added TERT.AM As Kuwait's first ambassador to
    Armenia, Al-Qabandi last week submitted his credentials to Armenian
    President Serzh Sargsyan.

    Al-Qabandi was counselor at Kuwait's embassy in Belgium before his
    appointment as ambassador in Yerevan.(end) nk.wsa KUNA 031333 Jan
