With the new agreement to be signed with the European Union, Armenia will take an important step in deepening its relations with the EU, including with Sweden, Charge d’ Affaires of the Embassy of Sweden in Yerevan Mr. Martin Fredriksson told NEWS.am.

The new agreement will provide new opportunities for cooperation in multiple fields, said the Swedish diplomat.

The diplomat is confident that it will be easier for Armenian and Swedish authorities and organizations to learn from each other’s experiences, and for Armenian businesses to take part in the European internal market.

"The basic thinking behind both European Union and the Eastern Partnership is that so many of the challenges that we face in today’s globalized world are impossible to for us to address as individual countries. We need partnerships in order to learn from each other’s experiences and find joint solutions to those challenges. As for Sweden, we’ve become successful much thanks to our cooperation with our neighbours, both with our fellow EU member states and also with our others neighbours. I think a lot more can be done within the Eastern partnership to encourage partner countries to learn also from each other."
