Armenian, Kyrgyz Premiers discuss strengthening of bilateral economic ties
Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan hosted today Prime Minister Sapar Isakov of Kyrgyzstan. The Prime Minister of Armenia congratulated his counterpart on assumption of office and wished him every success.
Karen Karapetyan expressed confidence that the traditional ties of friendship between the two peoples provide a good basis for promoting political dialogue and implementing mutually beneficial economic projects. The Premier noted that notwithstanding the low level of bilateral trade turnover, there is some positive dynamics and potential for development.
“The positive dynamics should be fostered, including through the intergovernmental commission’s activities. Indeed, there are many promising projects in Armenia and Kyrgyzstan that can be implemented jointly and which can be mutually beneficial,” the Armenian Premier said.
In turn, Kyrgyz Prime Minister Sapar Isakov said to be ready to deepen cooperation, noting that economic relations between the two countries do not meet the current level of political dialogue. “For our part, we stand ready to support the development of bilateral economic relations,” the Kyrgyz Prime Minister added.
Both sides agreed in that cooperation on the margins of the ongoing Eurasian integration process and the application of mutually agreed mechanisms will help enrich the Armenian-Kyrgyz relations.
The interlocutors stressed the need for exchanging the experiences gained in the process of economic development.
