Armenian President Serzh Sargsyan met with WB Vice President for
Europe and Central Asia Region Philippe Le Houerou in Dilijan resort
(Tavush region, Armenia), which hosted Post-Crisis Armenia: Challenges
and Perspectives international forum on September 11-12.
Wide range of issues concerning further cooperation between the WB
and Armenia was in the focus of the meeting, the RA President's press
service reported. The Armenian President hailed cooperation between
Armenia and the WB. "On one hand, the WB implements programs in
Armenia. On the other hand, it brings advanced experience to Armenia,
what is of keen importance for us," said Mr. Sargsyan. He estimated
highly the work done during the forum, as certain ways were offered
for problems resolution.
For his part, the WB Vice President noted that despite his busy
schedule, he decided to participate in the forum. He said that during
his previous tenure, he often used examples of the WB's successful
cooperation with Armenia, as a sound reason during negotiations with
donors around funds allocated for the WB programs. "I have held the
current position for a year. I studied portfolios of our programs
in the region and can state that Armenia has the best portfolio of
programs in the region," he said.
The two men expressed confidence that the accumulated experience
of effective cooperation between the WB and Armenia will allow
implementing larger programs in future.
