“We share the same opinion that it is importanat to promote dialogues between Moldova and Armenia in all the spheres of mutual interest, namely this refers to the promotion of trade and economic relations, expanding trade volumes,” he noted.
The Foreign Minister noted that in 2017 the first session of the Intergovernmental Commission on Economic and Trade Cooperation between the Republic of Armenia and Moldova will be held.
In response to the question whether some changes in the Moldovan foreign policy can be expected regarding the new president-elect, he noted: “I do not think that some abrupt changes are to be expected in the country’s foreign policy. Our policy directed to the European integration does not contradict the process aimed at establishing constructive ties with our partners in Moscow. I think the approach will remain valid during the ruling time of the president-elect.”
