Both presidents also pointed out during the press conference that,
despite the economic crisis, trade volume between Latvia and Armenia
has increased a bit the past several years, writes LETA.
Zatlers emphasized that the European Union's Eastern Partnership
Initiative is very important for Latvia, and can offer its experience
and expertise to Armenia in a wide range of areas.
Both presidents were in agreement that the political dialogue between
Latvia and Armenia is very good, however, cooperation in other areas
has much potential.
As reported, Sargsyan began his official two-day visit to Latvia today.
Later today, Zatlers and Sargsyan will address a Latvia-Armenia
business forum at the "Radisson Blu Daugava" hotel.
This evening, Zatlers and First Lady Lilita Zatlere will host a dinner
in honor of the Armenian president.
Tomorrow, at 10 a.m., the Armenian president will have a working
breakfast with Latvian Prime Minister Valdis Dombrovskis (Unity).
At 11 a.m., Sargsyan will conclude his visit to Latvia with a visit
to the Armenian Apostolic Church in Riga.
