YEREVAN, April 5, /ARKA/. Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan noted with satisfaction the high intensity of contacts between Armenian and Russian officials as he received on Tuesday the Deputy Prime Minister of the Russian Federation Alexey Overchuk.
He said also that ‘despite this, there is a need for more dynamic contacts, because our agenda is so full that it is not always possible to cover all issues.’
According to the government’s press office, the two men discussed a wide range of economic and political issues, as well as issues related to the regional and international situation.
Overchuk mentioned the strategic nature of the relations between the Russian Federation and the Republic of Armenia.
‘Of course, these are relations that have been built to their current form over the past 30 years, but in fact have a centuries-old history and have more than once faced various challenges, including economic crises, changes in the global trade and economic system,’ he was quoted as saying..
‘Despite this, we continue to strengthen our cooperation in the economic sphere, and last year we had very good indicators of mutual trade turnover growth. Investments from Russia to Armenia are also in good progress. We are really happy with the success recorded by the economy of Armenia as a part of the large economy of the Eurasian Economic Union and the advantages that the Union provides are certainly visible." -0-
