I hope with joint efforts we will enrich the Armenian-French comprehensive agenda with new ideas and initiatives.

Dear Mr. President,

I am full of hope that in the nearest future we will have a chance to examine concrete cooperation programs which we had discussed at various occasions. I would like to specifically highlight ATOM (Advanced Tomorrow) presidential initiative, food safety, creation of club of small and successful states, the regional economic cooperation between the International Organization of La Francophonie and the Eurasian Economic Union.

I wish you a lot of energy and success, and to the good people of France – progress and welfare”.
