Bilateral cooperation agenda between Georgia and Armenia in trade, economy, transit and transport was discussed on Thursday in a meeting between the Georgian Foreign Minister Ilia Darchiashvili and his Armenian counterpart Ararat Mirzoyan. 

The officials emphasised the importance of the latest meeting of the joint Intergovernmental Economic Commission and expressed their satisfaction with its results, the Georgian foreign office said.

The meeting noted the newly signed agreement on simplified border crossings between the two countries, which will allow their citizens to use biometric identification cards for cross-border travel.

The decision came following the 12th meeting of the Commission - a body established between the states - that was co-chaired by prime ministers Irakli Garibashvili and Nikol Pashinyan in Yerevan on Thursday.
