    RA Foreign Minister Vartan Oskanian received the delegation headed
    by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Lithuania Petras Vaitiekunas.

    Minister Oskanain highly appreciated the current level of
    Armenian-Lithuanian relations. The Minister noted that Armenia is
    interested in further reinforcing and developing the political and
    economic dialogue between the two countries and the visit of the

    bilateral relations.

    During the meeting the parties turned to the dynamic processes of
    development of bilateral relations ever since the establishment of
    diplomatic relations with Lithuania. Minister Oskanian expressed
    the willingness of the Armenian side to study the opportunities of

    reinforcement of cooperation with NATO and implementation of democratic
    reforms in the countries of the South Caucasus, especially Armenia.

    The parties emphasized the necessity of intensifying the bilateral
    economic relations. In this regard importance was attached to the
    forthcoming visit of the Lithuanian Prime Minister to Armenia, in

    The interlocutors discussed regional issues and referred to the events
    in Georgia. Expressing concern over the tension and stressing the
    importance of Georgia's stability, Minister Oskanian noted that the
    development of relations with the European Union and other European
    structures will enhance the stabilization of the political situation
    in the countries of the region and formation of the culture of
    constructive dialogue between the opposition and the authorities.

    peace process. The parties exchanged views on issues of regional
    energy security.
