Serzh Sargsyan has today met with Hungarian President Laslo Shoyom. Let's note that Armenian leader paid his first state visit to a central European state upon the initiative of his Hungarian counterpart. Official meeting between two leaders took place in Hungarian President's residence. Thereafter, Sargsyan and Shoyom continued their discussion in tête-à-tête format. Shoyom said he appreciated Armenia as a key partner and expressed his country's willingness to deepen bilateral and multilateral cooperation in political, trade-economic, humanitarian and other spheres.

During the meeting, parties also signed agreements and documents on cooperation in various spheres.

Sargsyan and Shoyom stated that despite active dialogue between their countries, paces of trade-economic cooperation remained relatively slow. Nevertheless, they expressed hope that recently opened Armenian-Hungarian business-conference, as well as the documents signed would promote business development between two states, RA President's press service reports.
