Кэтрин Эштон:

Процесс облегчение визового режима между Арменией и Евросоюзом на стадии выполнения технической задачи с обеих сторон. Об этом 17 ноября в Ереване заявила Верховный комиссар Евросоюза по вопросам внешней политики и безопасности Кэтрин Эштон на совместной пресс-конференции с главой МИД Армении Эдвардом Налбандяном, комментирую вопрос о причине затягивания процесса.

«Процесс облегчения визового режима между Арменией и Евросоюзом не затягивается. Я объясняла министру и премьер-министру Армении, что процессы, связанные с визовым режимом и торговлей на начальном этапе длятся долго. Причина в том, что существуют многочисленные вопросы технического порядка, которые необходимо решить. Часто кажется, что это самая длительная и самая сложная часть процесса, но не стоит рассматривать это как затягивание. Как только вся техническая работа будет проделана, процесс переговоров пойдет намного быстрее», - подчеркнула еврочиновник. Она отметила, что техническая работа должна быть проделана с обеих сторон, подчеркнув, что важно, чтобы работа была проделана соответствующим образом. «Я уверена, что мы скоро достигнем существенных результатов, но, прежде всего, техническая работа должна быть завершена», - повторила Эштон.

Chinese leader Xi Jinping welcomed Russian President Vladimir Putin as an “old friend” as the two began a series of meetings Tuesday at a time when their countries face both overlapping and differing challenges from the United States.

According to AP, Putin addressed Xi as “dear friend” and said that Moscow’s ties with Beijing are “at an unprecedentedly high level.” Following their formal talks, they planned to have another meeting over tea with some of their top aides. The talks come the day after both attended a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in the nearby Chinese city of Tianjin, and the day before a grand Chinese military parade in Beijing to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
