Welcoming the guest, President Khachaturyan congratulated her on  Estonia's Independence Day.

Touching upon the perspectives of Armenian-Estonian cooperation, the  President noted:

"There are no circumstances impeding the development of our  relations. I believe that we need to think of developing them even  further, we need to use all the existing opportunities, which are  quite wide. During my latest visit to Estonia, all the meetings were  held in a warm atmosphere. I want to address my special gratitude to  the President of Estonia and all the high-rank officials that I met.  I am sure that we will continue the tradition we've already started  and will create more opportunities for meetings because in this sense  human relations become very useful.

Once again, my congratulations on Estonia's Independence Day. I wish  the people of Estonia new achievements and success."

Expressing her gratitude for the reception, Ambassador Riina  Kaljurand noted that the Visit of the President to Estonia has  significantly boosted the rapprochement of relations and the  deepening of cooperation between the two countries.

"Thank you, Mr. President. I am truly honoured to be here today. As  you rightly pointed out, it has been a very long time since we had  high-level visits between our countries and your visit was highly  appreciated by our side and our President.  It was a reboost of  bilateral relations and I think has had a positive effect on  relations between all institutions," noted Ambassador Kaljurand.

During the meeting, the sides discussed a wide range of questions  dedicated to the deepening of friendly relations between Armenia and  Estonia and cooperation in the fields of mutual interest.

The sides also touched upon the general situation, the issue of the  blockade of the Lachin Humanitarian Corridor and the interim  judgement the International Court of Justice rendered in that regard.  Both sides highlighted the imperative to restore the normal operation  of the humanitarian corridor.
