SECOND ECONOMIC FORUM ARMENIA-DIASPORA TO HAVE UP TO 1,000 PARTICIPANTS
YEREVAN, AUGUST 24, NOYAN TAPAN. The second economic forum
Armenia-Diaspora to be held on September 20 will have up to
1,000 participants, while the similar event in 2003 had about 800
participants. RA Deputy Minister of Trade and Economic Development
Tigran Davtian told NT correspondent about it. He attributed the
growth in the number of participants to the improvement of Armenia's
economic indices and the increased investment attractiveness of
the country. According to him, the ratio of Armenian and Diasporan
businessmen, who have submitted applications for participation in
the forum, is equal. Businessmen of not Armenian origin are also
expected to attend the forum, especially its IT section. Besides,
it is envisaged that representatives of a number of international
economic organizations, including organizations not operating in
Armenia, will take part in the event.
T. Davtian said that round tables on problems of cooperation in such
spheres as high and information technologies, science and innovation,
industry, small and medium business, tourism, construction and real
estate will be held between the forum's opening and closing plenary
sittings. "This year's forum will aim to expand cooperation, especially
in the high-tech secto," he underlined.
It was noted that the exhibition "Armenia's Economy over 15 Years of
Independence" will take place on September 22-25 within the framework
of the forum.
In T. Davtian's words, it will be "an unprecedented one by its scale".
