ArmInfo. Armenian-Polish relations are based on common values. This was stated by Armenian President Vahagn Khachaturyan at a joint press conference with the head of the Polish state Andrzej Duda on November 26.
According to him, Poland, which will begin presiding over the EU Council next year, the architect of the EU Eastern Partnership program, is an important and reliable partner of Armenia, both bilaterally and at multilateral platforms. An important component in bilateral relations, Khachaturyan continued, is parliamentary diplomacy, within the framework of which there is active interaction between the legislative bodies of the two countries.
The RA President emphasized that despite the high level of political dialogue, there is great untapped potential in relations between Armenia and Poland. In this context, Khachaturyan noted the importance of the work of the intergovernmental commission on economic cooperation, whose periodic meetings are a reliable tool not only for intensifying trade and economic ties between the two states, but also for identifying new areas of cooperation.
Khachaturyan emphasized that during the meeting with his Polish counterpart, the possibility of expanding cooperation in the fields of science and culture was discussed. He noted that the interlocutors also discussed the situation in the South Caucasus region and in the European space and possible ways to solve existing problems. Armenia, the RA President continued, has a clear and consistent position on establishing peace in the region and resolving issues through dialogue and negotiations. In this context, the Polish side was presented with the "Crossroads of Peace" project, which duly presented the opportunity to establish peace and stability in the region.
In turn, Andrzej Duda, expressing gratitude for the warm welcome, noted that Poland emphasizes the importance of Yerevan's rapprochement with European values. "We highly value political ties with Armenia, and note the need to intensify them in various areas, including economic cooperation," the Polish president said. He expressed hope for an early agreement on a peace treaty between Armenia and Azerbaijan, reporting on his meeting with Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev in Baku within the framework of COP29. The border delimitation process is an important aid in achieving peace and stability not only for the South Caucasus region, but also for the European space. Poland is ready to assist the reconciliation process if necessary.
