    Armenian Prime Minister Andranik Markaryan, who is paying a working
    visit to Japan, met his Japanese counterpart Junichiro Koizumi at
    midday today.

    Markaryan said that Armenia attaches special importance to expanding
    cooperation with Japan and rates highly Japan's contribution to the
    preservation of stability and peace, as well as its assistance to
    developing countries, the press service of the Armenian government has
    reported. The Armenian prime minister expressed the hope that Japan
    will continue to maintain a neutral position on the resolution of
    regional conflicts within the framework of international cooperation.

    Markaryan thanked Japan for continuous technical assistance to
    Armenia, as well as for grant and loan programmes in the sphere of
    small and medium-sized businesses, energy, agriculture, health care
    and culture.

    The sides expressed the hope that cooperation between the two
    countries will expand. They pointed out cooperation in the sphere of
    seismology where Armenian and Japanese scientists have achieved great
    success. The sides also confirmed the agreement on holding an
    Armenian-Japanese business forum in Moscow on 24 June.

    Markaryan thanked Japan on behalf of the Armenian government for a
    150m-dollar soft loan for the energy sphere, which is the largest one
    among those allocated by donor countries.

    The sides pointed out that cooperation in the sphere of information
    technologies, chemical industry, processing of foodstuffs and tourism
    was more effective.

    Tomorrow, the Armenian prime minister will meet the management of the
    Japanese Bank of International Cooperation and will visit the
    Panasonic centre.
