Russia attaches much importance to cooperation with Armenia
President Serzh Sargsyan today received Head of Russian Presidential Administration, Sergei Naryshkin, President’s press office reports.
Serzh Sargsyan stressed that Armenian-Russian high-level relations develop intensively, Russia and Armenia successfully continue political dialogue, and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev’s state visit to Armenia in August further boosted Armenian-Russian ties.
“I attach much importance to cooperation between the Presidential Administrations and to their functions.
I hope direct ties between subdivisions of the Administrations will give a possibility to more efficiently control presidential instructions and to raise efficiency of our activities,” President Sargsyan said.
According to the President, though both Armenia and Russia face post-crisis problems, commodity circulation between the two countries has increased 12 percent this year.
The Head of Russian Presidential Administration expressed hope that cooperation between Russian and Armenian Presidential Administrations will promote development of Armenian-Russian relations.
“For sure, Russia also attaches importance to strategic partnership with Armenia,” Naryshkin stated.
