ФРАНЦИЯ-АРМЕНИЯ-ПРЕЗИДЕНТ-ВСТРЕЧИ

Объемы инвестиций французского капитала в экономику Армении неуклонно растут. Этот факт с удовлетворением констатировали президент Армении Серж Саргсян и премьер-министр Франции Франсуа Фийон в ходе остоявшейся накануне в Париже встречи.

Как сообщили АрмИнфо в пресс-службе главы армянского государства, в ходе встречи достигнута договоренность на политическом уровне продолжать оказывать содействие французским компаниям, заинтересованных в реализации в Армении различных программ. Особое место при этом будет уделено проектам в сфере энергетики. В частности, официальный Ереван заинтересован в участии французских компаний, обладающих солидным опытом, в проекте строительства в Армении нового ядерного энергоблока. Премьер-министр Франции Франсуа Фийон отметил, что сформированная в его стране группа специалистов прибудет в Армению для изучения перспектив сотрудничества в данной сфере.

Собеседники обсудили и возможность вовлечения французских компаний в проект строительства автомобильной дороги "Север-Юг". Как подчеркнул французский премьер, соответветствующая группа специалистов будет командирована в Армению для более детального изучения как данного проекта, так и проектов в сфере железнодорожного транспорта.

Президент Серж Саргсян и премьер-министр Франсуа Фийон обсудили также вопросы, касающиеся сотрудничества Армения - Европейский Союз. Была подчеркнута важность содействия Армении со стороны Франции в европейской интеграции, в частности, в рамках программы ЕС "Восточное партнерство".

Cобеседники отметили, что данный вопрос будет подробно рассмотрен на предстоящем саммите  программы "Восточное партнерство" в Праге.

Кроме вопросов, касающихся укрепления и развития сотрудничества в политической, экономической сферах, президент Армении и французский премьер обсудили также возможности развития связей в сферах образования и культуры.

Премьер-министр Фийон выразил надежду на то, что предстоящий государственный визит главы французского государства Николя Саркози в Армению придаст дополнительный стимул для развития двусторонних отношений в различных сферах, в том числе, и активизации сотрудничества в новых программах.

Borrell tells the European Parliament that the situation in Afghanistan was critical, but the EU will remain engaged

Turkiye to host COP31 in 2026

A consensus has emerged during COP 30, currently being held in Belan, Brazil, that COP 31 will be held in the Turkish city of Antalya, in 2026. In 2026 Turkiye will host another global event, the NATO leaders summit. Turkiye is set to host COP31 after reaching compromise with Australia.  The COP31 climate meeting is now expected to be held in Turkey after Australia dropped its bid to host the annual event. Under the UN rules, the right to host the COP in 2026 falls to a group of countries made up of Western Europe, Australia and others. A consensus must be reached but neither country had been willing to concede. Australia has now agreed to support the Turkish bid in return for their minister chairing the talks following negotiations at COP30, currently being held in Brazil. This unusual arrangement has taken observers by surprise. It is normal for a COP president to be from the host country and how this new partnership will work in practice remains to be seen. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called the compromise with Turkey an "outstanding result" in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), noting Pacific issues would be "front and centre". He added that he had spoken to Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape and Prime Minister Rabuka of Fiji. There will be relief among countries currently meeting at COP30 in the Brazilian city of Belém that a compromise has been reached as the lack of agreement on the venue was becoming an embarrassment for the UN.
