Armenia’s President Armen Sarkissian, who is in the United Arab Emirates (UAE) on an official visit, on Tuesday met—in capital city Abu Dhabi—with UAE Minister of State Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, to discuss the prospects for economic cooperation.

The President noted that even though Armenia is a small country, Armenians are a global and closely interconnected nation.

Sarkissian added that when he speaks about economic cooperation, he does not mean solely with Armenia because Armenians and Armenian businesses are everywhere in the world, and therefore the potential of cooperation grows incomparably.

The interlocutors agreed that, as the first step, a delegation from the UAE shall visit Armenia to get familiarized with the opportunities on the spot, to hold talks, and to put the existing proposals on practical bases.
