The French Embassy in Armenia has released the statement of Spokesman of Ministry of Foreign Affairs and International Development of France made on 1 March over the completion of talks on the EU-Armenia new framework agreement.
“France welcomes the conclusion of negotiations on the EU-Armenia Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement announced by European Council President Donald Tusk during Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan's visit to Brussels on February 27-28.
Finalized a few days ahead of President Sargsyan’s official visit to France on March 8-9, this agreement responds to the Armenian president’s call in May 2014 to strengthen ties between the EU and his country.
This agreement will step up the political dialogue between the EU and Armenia on our shared commitment to democracy, human rights and the rule of law. It will facilitate expanded cooperation on energy, transportation and the environment. It will create new opportunities for trade and investment while protecting French and European geographical indications,” reads the statement.
