    development of the region as whole.

    Thanking the Prime Minister for the sincere meeting, Mrs. Salome
    Zurabishvili informed him in detail on the fruitful meetings and talks
    she had had in Baku. The Georgian Foreign Minister pointed to

    in development between the two neighboring countries, and expressed
    confidence in continuation of their close cooperation for the sake of
    reestablishment of peace and stability in the region, fair settlement
    of the conflicts and further economic progress.

    During the meeting held in the sincere atmosphere, the parties also
    exchanged views on a number of other issues of mutual interests.
