Since I visited Armenia, a great work has been done to follow the arrangements made during my visit. I am glad for the opportunity to correct the clock with you, see what else we can do and where we should pick up the work speed.

In any case, I am glad to note that Russia remains as Armenia’s leading trade and commercial partner: last year our trade circulation grew by almost 11 percents (10.6 percents) as compared with the previous year. This year, the positive dynamics of trade circulation has remained the same and likewise, Russia is the leading investor in the Armenian economy,” said RF President Vladimir Putin at the meeting with President Serzh Sargsyan.

Of course, the arrangements made during your state visit and on September 3 in Moscow enriched our agenda. I am sure that following those arrangements in all sectors - foreign policy, technical military, economic - gives us a new chance for close cooperation. We are ready to work intensively. I think this very fact corresponds to the historic traditions of friendship between our peoples and to our peoples’ will and that is why we are ready. I am glad for being in Moscow today.
