YEREVAN, January 27 (Itar-Tass) - Armenian-Iranian intergovernmenal commission for economic cooperation opens its ninth meeting in the Armenian capital Yerevan later in the day. The Iranian delegation will be led by Foreign Minister Manuchehr Mottaki.

Ovik Abramian, Prime Minister Tigran Sarkisian, National Security Council
Secretary Artur Bagdasarian, and Foreign Minister Advard Nalbandian.
"The agenda of discussions by the commission includes the project of a
railway that will link the two countries, a third
cross-border
high-voltage transmission line, and two joint hydropower plants on
the Araks River that separates the two countries," the Armenian Foreign
Ministry said in a statement for the mass media.
As other issues of economic interaction, the documents points out
"expansion of contacts in the oil and
petrochemical
industry, including construction of a liquid fuel
storage facility on the Armenian territory."
.Moldova, Dniester rgn agree on resuming meetings of experts.
CHISINAU, January 27 (Itar-Tass) - Moldova's central government and
the authorities of the unrecognized breakaway Dniester Republic have
agreed to resume meetings of groups of experts called upon to build mutual
trust.
The government's press service said Tuesday night understanding on
this was reached by Moldovan Prime Minister Victor Osipov and the Dniester
Republic's Foreign Minister, Vladimir Yastrebchak.
They held a meeting in the office of the Chisinau-based mission of the
Organization for Security and Cooperation in Europe.
Osipov and Yastrebchak agreed that the first meeting of experts from
both sides will be held in February.
The interlocutors also discussed the agreements that were reached at
consultations in Vienna and in the Dniester town of Bendery.
Osipov pointed out, among other things, the Moldovan government's
decision to extend indefinitely the simpler regulations for the issuance
of customs documents for the products manufactured by industries in the
Dniester region and the privileged issuance of Moldovan documents to the
Dniester region residents willing to obtain them.
Talks on settling the dragged out conflict in the Dniester region,
which has been seeking independence from Moldova since the early 1990's,
were held in the Five Plus Two format before the breakup at the end of
February 2006.
The format envisioned Moldova, the Dniester region, the OSCE, Russia,
and Ukraine as the main participating parties and the U.S. and the EU
taking part in them in the status of observers.
Russia managed to rehabilitate the dialogue in April 2008, when the
presidents of Moldova and the Dniester Republic had a personal meeting.
They agreed then to resume trust-building meetings of experts but the
first conference of expert groups could take place in reality only after
the second meeting between the two presidents at the end of December 2008.
