Delegations from 13 RF regions to participate in RF-Armenia forum
YEREVAN October 13
The second Russian-Armenian interregional forum will be held here on
Saturday. Officials from central and regional authorities of the
countries, representatives of public organizations and businesspeople
will participate in the forum, a source in the Armenian Ministry for
Territorial Management said.
The delegations from 13 Russian regions will visit Armenia. They will
meet with their Armenian colleagues and will discuss the prospects of
cooperation. The chief executives from all nine Armenian regions are
invited to the forum.
The countries are to sign agreements for cooperation between the
Arkhangelsk Region and the Vayots Dzor Region, the Lori Region and the
directorate of the South Caucasus Railroad, which is a daughter
company of Russian Railways (RZD). Round-table meetings will be
devoted to various issues of bilateral cooperation at the forum titled
"Russia and Armenia: interregional dialogue-2012". The round-table
meetings will be devoted to the role of interregional cooperation for
the development of trade and economic relations between the two
countries, the participation in the integration processes in the
Eurasian space and humanitarian cooperation.
Tourism at interregional level is an important trend of our
cooperation, Russian Ambassador in Armenia Vyacheslav Kovalenko said.
"In general, the development of tourism is a serious factor for the
development of human contacts between Russia and Armenia," the
diplomat believes. The countries will discuss the projects to develop
children's, student and youth tourism, he noted. "We intend through
the heads of the regions to attract representatives of a large
Armenian diaspora in Russia that numbers about two million people to
these tourism programs," Kovalenko remarked.
The first interregional forum, which was held in Armenia in April
2011, "gave a very strong impetus to the development of bilateral
relations at the level of regions in the countries," the ambassador
recalled.
The working group for coordination of interregional relations was
formed in the intergovernmental commission for economic cooperation
upon the results of the first forum.
