water, transportation and energy infrastructure. The parties discussed

Management of the investment fund was offered the project of
construction of the water reservoir near the village Mastara in
Armenian Aragatsotn region. With the capacity of 10.2 million cubic
meters, the reservoir will collect Mastara river water. Reservoir
will provide irrigation for 4,384 hectares, or six communities in
the region.
During the meeting, it was agreed that the Kuwaiti side will be

project. It is expected that in May 2013 the construction project of
the reservoir would be submitted to the foundation for final decision.
