President Serzh Sargsyan received today Henri de Raincourt, French
Minister of Cooperation, President's Press Office reported.
Greeting the guest, the President stated: "France has a unique place
in Armenia's foreign policy agenda. Therefore, we are constantly
interested in the reinforcement and deepening of our relations. This is
connected with both centuries-old historic ties, the sympathy existing
between our peoples and the fact of France's being a weighty player in
international politics, and finally the existence of a large Armenian
community in France.
Henri de Raincourt expressed gratitude for the warm reception and
noted: "Armenia is always in our hearts, since every day we communicate
with Armenians living in France, who are carriers of both cultures
and who remind us of the sufferings of Armenians and their capacity
to rise again."
The interlocutors praised the relations between the two countries,
emphasizing the importance of the regular high-level political
dialogue, the close and effective inter-parliamentary cooperation,
the cultural exchanges, the presence of French companies in the
Armenian market, the successfully developing decentralized cooperation.
Participants of the meeting agreed that the development of
trade-economic ties, the growth of commodity turnover and the
intensification of reciprocal visits was among the priorities of
bilateral relations.
The parties discussed a broad range of issues related to Armenia-EU
cooperation.
