Bagdasarian on cooperation with Lublin province

Lublin

Head of the Armenian National Assembly Artur Bagdasarian discussed
possibilities of cooperation between Armenia and Lublin province at a
meeting with Lublin city and provincial authorities on Thursday.

Bagdasarian would like to establish cooperation with Poland in
science, education and agriculture. Development of information
technologies is a priority in Armenia at present, he said and added
that his country would like to exchange experience in sugar beet
growing and processing. We are also interested in imports of
fertilisers, he said.

Bagdasarian invited Lublin authorities to visit Armenia, and proposed
to create a mission of Lublin in his country. A similar mission
promoting Armenian commodities and culture could be set up in Lublin
province.

Head of the Lublin provincial assembly Henryk Makarewicz assured the
guest about readiness to establish cooperation. There are considerable
opportunities for this and Armenia has priority in regional cooperation,
he said. Makarewicz expressed the hope that details of the accord
would be set soon.
