The Government of the Republic of Armenia

RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan – Good afternoon, dear colleagues. This visit of Poland’s Prime Minister is a twofold pleasure for us because, on the one hand, we discuss economic cooperation and, on the other hand, we reaffirm the deeply-rooted traditional ties of friendship between Armenia and Poland. It may create a favorable environment for the furtherance of bilateral relationship. Signed by the two deputy ministers, the economic cooperation agreement will promote mutual investments and strengthen the private sector. An intergovernmental commission will be established to deal with our economic, political, financial and cultural agenda. Arrangements have been made for specific business projects under the responsibility of the intergovernmental commission. We are convinced that Mr. Tusk’s visit will strike a new chapter in the history of bilateral relations.

RP Prime Minister Donald Tusk – Thank you, Mister Prime Minister. Ladies and Gentlemen, I wish to note that this is my first ever visit to Armenia which is sure to deepen friendship at both official and informal levels. The Prime Minister of Armenia reminded of our two peoples’ centuries-old shared history which is a political capital as well. I mean Armenians and Poles have a solid base of reciprocated confidence. This urged my country to design and initiate the European Partnership Program. Armenia has a good record of contribution under the program. I am pleased very much that we were able to identify a few fields of beneficial interaction during these talks. Not only will there be established a joint panel, but we will also collaborate in chemical, industrial sectors and perhaps in electronics. We expect to adopt some nuclear energy-related know-how from Armenia. Today’s signing is just the start-up of cooperation rather than the conclusion of previous endeavors.
