YEREVAN, October 20. /ARKA/. There is a considerable untapped reserve for Armenia and Poland to boost their economic relations, Armenian foreign minister Edward Nalbandian said on Friday during a briefing with his visiting Polish counterpart Witold Waszczykowski. "To fully use this potential, the work of the intergovernmental commission is particularly important, the next meeting of which is slated for December this year," Nalbandian said.
Nalbandian said also that this year marks the 25th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between Armenia and Poland, as well as the 650th anniversary of the Armenian community in Poland.
"The Armenian community of Poland is a steady bridge between our two friendly countries. Over the past centuries, Armenians in Poland have been worthy citizens, talented state and military figures, scientists, and art historians," Nalbandian said.
In turn, Witold Waszczykowski expressed confidence that Armenia and Poland will continue both bilateral political and economic relations at the highest level. "There is a great potential for expanding the Armenian-Polish economic cooperation. There are many Polish companies, which would like to cooperate with the Armenian ones," he said.
According to Armenia's National Statistical Service, Armenia's trade with Poland in the first 8 months of 2017 grew by 6 percent year-on-year to $33.8 million. -0—
