    October 24 RA Prime Minister Serge Sargsyan left the United States for
    France on an official visit. On the first day of the visit the Prime
    Minister attended a reception in his honor, featuring members of the
    French Senate and the National Assembly, leaders of French-Armenian
    organizations.

    Serge Sargsyan delivered a greeting speech, in which he said, in part:

    "We have a devoted partner in Europe in the face of France, which is
    consistently promoting Armenia's inclusion in European structures. In
    this respect, we highly appreciate France's important assistance
    especially in the framework of the European Neighborhood Policy.

    France is sincerely interested in the reduction of tension in the
    South Caucasus and establishment of stability and makes constructive
    efforts in this direction. All of you are aware of France's useful
    involvement in the negotiations on the Karabakh conflict settlement
    together with the United States and Russia.

    Today we are effectively cooperating with France in most different
    spheres.

    Today there are 120 enterprises in Armenia operating with participation
    of French capital.

    Our Government attaches great importance to cultural, scientific
    and educational exchanges and encourages the joint programs in these
    spheres.

    Loving and speaking French has been traditionally peculiar of the
    Armenian society, and in this regard we think the success of the
    French University of Yerevan was natural. I know that notwithstanding
    its youth, this is one of the best French Universities outside France."

    PM Serge Sargsyan noted that the role of the French Armenian Community
    is great in the reinforcement of Armenian-French friendship. French
    Armenians are a live bridge between the two peoples.

    Turning to the Year of Armenia in France, the Prime Minister expressed
    gratitude to the political leadership of France, local self-government
    bodies and all establishments and individuals who helped make the
    Year of Armenia in France a real celebration. He said the Year of
    Armenia will become a decisive impetus for the development of cultural,
    economic, educational and scientific ties and will further reinforce
    the traditional friendship between the two countries and peoples.

    Today Prime Minister Serge Sargsyan is scheduled to meet with his
    French counterpart Francois Fillon.
