Margaryan and Fradkov to Meet in Moscow December 1

Russian PM Mikhail Fradkov is going to meet with head of Armenia’s Government Andranik Margaryan in Moscow December 1, the Russian Premier stated it during a meeting with Armenian President Robert Kocharian Tuesday. Fradkov reminded that the Year of Armenia is coming to its end in Russia. “I am convinced that the events already held and those to be held will benefit economic cooperation between the two countries,” the PM underscored in his conversation with Kocharian. “The Russian party wants to organize the work in a way for the completion of the Year of Armenia in Russia to be held in Saint Petersburg,” the Russian PM said. He added Vice-Premier Dmitry Medvedev will represent the Russian party at the closing ceremony.

In his turn, the Armenian President noted the high increase of commodity turnover between the two countries. At that, in Kocharian’s words, there are a number of issues, which hamper that increase, specifically in the field of transport communications. The situation is favorable in joint investment projects in building and energy, the processing industry. “Here we feel growth of the investment component,” Kocharian noted, Rosbalt reports.
