  Cooperation between cities of Armenia and France supplements interstate dialogue  October 7, 2010 - 16:23 AMTPanARMENIAN.Net - Armenian Foreign Minister Edward Nalbandian said that the cooperation between cities of Armenia and France is very important, as it supplements and makes a part of the interstate dialogue in various fields. “The number of the two countries’ twin cities has already reached 30. Initially, the French self-government bodies basically focused on implementation of humanitarian programs, but recently the cooperation programs involved other fields as well,” Nalbandian said during the opening of the second Armenian-French forum of decentralized cooperation. According to him, around 50 programs are implemented annually in the fields of education, culture, tourism and economy in the format of the Armenian-French decentralized cooperation. Yerevan is hosting the forum on October 7-8.
