RA Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan today received the Minister of
Slovenia Marek Madyaric. The Prime Minister welcomed the initiatives
of development of cooperation between the Culture Ministries of the
two countries. Tigran Sargsyan noted that deepening of relations in
the field of culture can become a good means for the reinforcement
of Armenian-Slovak economic ties and active cooperation. RA Prime
Minister attached importance to the cooperation agreement signed
between the Culture Ministries of Armenia and Slovakia, noting that
this interagency document will promote the interesting bilateral
initiatives in the field of culture.

a lot of work to be done in this direction.
