A joint press conference was held following the meeting between the Minister of Foreign Affairs and International Trade of the Republic of Armenia Ararat Mirzoyan and the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Latvia Baiba Braže.

“In recent years, Armenia and Latvia have managed to build a strong and dynamic political dialogue, a partnership based on friendship and shared democratic values. Armenia and Latvia are partners united by a commitment to sovereignty, democracy and peace.

The focus of our discussions today was on expanding economic cooperation and diversifying Armenia’s export markets. We agree on the importance of translating our strong political dialogue into concrete economic results by further boosting bilateral trade, encouraging investment and establishing close ties between our business communities.

In this context, I expressed my special gratitude to Minister Braže for his prompt response and support in facilitating the urgent export of certain Armenian products to the Latvian market. This practical support is greatly appreciated and demonstrates Latvia’s readiness to contribute to Armenia’s economic diversification at a time of great need.

Armenia’s deepening partnership with the European Union has naturally occupied an important place in our discussions. We highly appreciate Latvia’s consistent support for initiatives of particular importance to Armenia. Our cooperation in this direction is multifaceted and includes the implementation of existing agreements, initiatives aimed at strengthening Armenia’s resilience and promoting economic diversification, as well as the identification of new directions for partnership.

I have presented Armenia’s efforts aimed at further strengthening and institutionalizing the peace already established between Armenia and Azerbaijan. We have also discussed the importance of unblocking regional economic and transport infrastructure, which is a direct result of the peace and stability established in our region. A vivid example of this is the TRIPP project, which will soon enter the construction phase. I emphasized that the new realities formed in the region create significant opportunities for the development of interregional ties, expansion of economic cooperation and promotion of interconnection programs,” Mirzoyan noted.
