In the evening of September 28 Armenian and French Presidents Serzh
Sargsyan and Nicolas Sarkozy attended Charles Aznavour's concert at
Olympia Concert Hall dedicated to the 20th anniversary of Armenia's
independence.
This morning Serzh Sargsyan had a working dinner with Armenian and
French businessmen.
"The centuries-old Armenian-French friendship rests on common religious
and cultural similarities. The similarities are so deep that the
geographic position has never been an obstacle for the continuous
reinforcement of friendship," President Sargsyan said in his address.
"Invaluable is the role in the development of independence Armenia.
Armenia has always attached great importance to the deepening of
relations with France, and our today's meeting is called to contribute
to this. France is a large trade and investment partner for Armenia.
French investments in Armenia totaled about $700 million as of July
2011. 155 Armenian-French joint ventures are registered in Armenia. We
have successful examples of French investments in almost all spheres -
telecommunication, production of drinks, banking, pharmaceuticals,
healthcare, tourism, agriculture, light industry," the President
stated.
The President called on French businessmen to launch active cooperation
with Armenian counterparts.
