Italian ambassador to Armenia expressed adherence to strengthening relations between the two countries.

Commenting on his contributions to the development of bilateral ties in a conversation with a PanARMENIAN.Net reporter, Bruno Scapini noted, “aware of the challenges we’re facing in political, economical and cultural sectors, I feel a commitment to improve the degree of cooperation to the best of my possibilities.”

“At present, I’m working on establishment of Armenian-Italian business association, which can be a basis for further cooperation in other fields as well, maybe exchange of youth, students, organization of seminars, collective events and fairs,” the ambassador noted.

“I found businessmen in Italy that would like to join this initiative, which in itself symbolizes the existing excellent relations,” Mr Scapini said.

Association formation activities will be launched in December, with the program to probably kick off in early 2012
