    Formally adopted during the EU Summit in Prague last May, the
    Eastern Partnership is a new framework for bilateral and multilateral
    cooperation between the European Union and its Eastern neighbors. It
    aims at developing increasingly close political and economic ties
    with the Eastern neighbours, involving both the authorities and the
    civil society. The "Road-show" on the Eastern Partnership, which
    will be held in Yerevan on September 15-16 2009 - aims at involving
    key Armenian stakeholders and the wider public in an open discussion
    about the key purposes and principles of the Eastern Partnership and
    the benefits it offers.

    Mr. Henrik Hololei (Head of Cabinet of Commissioner Kallas),
    Mr. Rutger Wissels (DG RELEX Director for European Neighborhood Policy
    Coordination) and Mr. John Kjaer (DG RELEX Head of Unit for Ukraine
    Moldova Belarus and South Caucasus) have visited Armenia to explain
    the Eastern Partnership and discuss with relevant stakeholders the
    benefits of this important initiative, which represents an upgrading
    of the political engagement between the European Union and Armenia.

    The three EU high-level officials will participate in the high level
    workshop Political and Economic Impact of Economic Integration with
    European Union - Opportunities and Challenges for Armenia. Mr John
    Kjaer will give a presentation about "Prospects and impact of de
    epening EU-Armenian bilateral relations under Eastern Partnership"
    and Mr.

    Henrik Hololei will speak about "Gains and obstacles of economic
    integration with European Union - challenges for economies in
    transition".

    The delegation will be received by the Minister of Economy Mr. Nerses
    Yeritsyan and Deputy Foreign Minister Karine Kazinyan. The delegation
    will also have discussions with the Members of the National Assembly,
    civil society organizations and political parties.
