Ambassador: Armenia is important partner for U.S.

U.S. ambassador to Armenia named economy, regional programs and elections as the key areas of activity U.S. mission in Armenia pursues.

As John Heffern said at the presentation of the Enterprise Development and Market Competitiveness (EDMC) project, “Armenia and the U.S. have vast potential for deepening trade ties.”

“Hopefully this project will foster further development of bilateral relations,” the ambassador said, noting Armenia as an important partner of the U.S.

USAID jointly with Pragma Corporation and Armenian Economy Ministry implements EDMC project aimed at creating favorable conditions for development of small and medium businesses in Armenia, enhancement of market competitiveness, promotion of innovations as well as boosting of labor force potential.
