    Today the RA National Competitiveness Council held its 12th enlarged
    session at the Government's Guest House, chaired by RA Prime Minister
    Tigran Sargsyan.

    The agenda comprised the following items: review of economic
    development trends worldwide and at home, submission of projects on
    the launching and expansion of the all-Armenian network, hearing of
    Competitiveness Fund's performance report, discussion of its by-laws
    and rules of procedure. The session was attended by representatives
    from the Armenian private sector and donor community.

    Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan briefed the participants on Armenia's
    current economic standing and development prospects, outlined ways
    of achieving enhanced national competitiveness. In attendance was
    Senior Minister of the Republic of Singapore Lee Kwan Yu, a former
    prime minister and the author of the economic miracle operated in that
    country. He spoke about the lessons drawn out from his government's
    drive to enhance Singapore's national competitiveness.

    Mindful of the importance of today's meeting, Tigran Sargsyan said
    in particular: "This meeting is particular in that it is attended by
    former prime ministe r of Singapore, Senior Minister Lee Kwan Yu who
    is in Armenia at the invitation of the Armenian President, and we can
    avail ourselves of this exclusive opportunity to discuss a wide range
    of topical issues. This is also an opportunity to formulate and state
    the Fund's mission. First, the Council of the Fund attempted to make
    the concept clearer to the public.

    Its ideology basically stems from the principle of public-private
    sector cooperation. The National Competitiveness Fund is a new tool
    enabling the State to carry out serious programs in cooperation with
    the private sector, and demonstrate to the international community
    the present and future roles of Armenia and Armenians. This means
    we should know what we are in for in terms of modern challenges, and
    which way we can uplift Armenia's national competitiveness based on
    the principle of public-private sector cooperation."

    In the words of Singapore's Senior Minster, Armenia should manage to
    step over its regional neighbors and reach a new stage of development
    in quality terms by making a better use of Diaspora's potential.

    Republic of Armenia Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan and Republic of
    Singapore Senior Minister Lee Kwan Yu answered a set of questions of
    interest to media.
