President Serzh Sargsyan today received Cheick Sidi Diarra,
Under-Secretary-General and High Representative for the Least Developed
Countries, Landlocked Developing Countries and Small Island Developing
States. The Under-Secretary-General has arrived in Yerevan to
participate in the global innovation conference on educational issues.
The president appreciated the assistance the UN structures provide
to Armenia. Noting that ever since joining the UN Armenia has been
actively participating in the organisation's activity, Serzh Sargsyan
said without the direct assistance of corresponding UN bodies it would
be extremely difficult to work out and implement effective programmes
in a number of spheres.
"Our objective is to create a stably developing society," the leader of
the country said, noting that the Government has declared information
technologies as a priority direction. On the way of creation of an
information society, the state especially encourages the activeness
and involvement of youth.
Welcoming Armenia's resoluteness to develop information technologies
and telecommunication, the high UN official said it will allow
investing the knowledge in the potential of the country's development,
which is especially important for landlocked countries like Armenia.
The parties agreed that the economy based on knowledge provides an
opportunity to the country to be much more competitive.
The interlocutors spoke about the alternative routes of communication
and emphasised their necessity.
According to Sargsyan, the growth of communication opportunities can
considerably facilitate the development of information technologies.
