    /PanARMENIAN.Net/ U.S. Assistance Coordinator for Europe and Eurasia
    Thomas Adams visited Armenia May 14-17, in his final visit to Armenia
    in that capacity.

    Adams was accompanied by his deputy, Daniel Rosenblum, who has been
    designated to succeed him as Coordinator in the upcoming months.

    The delegation held fruitful discussions with the President, the Prime
    Minister, the Minister of Foreign Affairs, the Minister of Finance,
    the Minister of Economy, the Minister of Agriculture, and the Minister
    of Energy and Natural Resources.

    Mr. Adams addressed a wide range of important issues in his
    conversations with his hosts from the Armenian government. He learned
    about the status of democracy and human rights issues in Armenia, in
    light of the post-election political difficulties. He urged Armenian
    authorities to take prompt action to heal the social divisions that
    have arisen as a result of the political conflict. Adams also discussed
    with Armenian officials a number of other important bilateral issues,
    including ongoing cooperation programs in energy and agriculture,
    Armenia's economy, measures to improve Armenia's attractiveness to
    foreign investment, and Armenia's important efforts to combat illegal
    trafficking in persons.

    During his visit, Mr. Adams met with the Board of the American Chamber
    of Commerce in Armenia, as well as key leaders and stakeholders of
    the Millennium Challenge program in Armenia. The delegation also
    visited a number of project sites implementing U.S.

    assistance programs, including the Armenian-American Wellness Center,
    Arcolate Chocolate Company, Arzni Medical Ambulatory in Kotayk Marz,
    and a school in Nork, which was refurbished with the financial support
    of the U.S. Government, reported the press office of the U.S. Embassy
    in Yerevan.
