PM Pashinyan: Russia is Armenia’s main trade partner
Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan addressed the Armenian-Russian interregional forum that opened in Yerevan today.
Pashinyan said in parts that the Armenian-Russian interregional cooperation, which is based on about two dozen agreements, has a really wide geography. It includes almost all regions of Armenia and the Russian Federation.
The existence of these ties is one of the bright manifestations of the exceptional relations between our two countries, he said, adding that Russia not only plays a key role in maintaining peace and stability in our region, but also plays a central role in our country’s economy.
Russia is Armenia’s main trading partner, Pashinyan said. He said that in 2019, the bilateral trade exceeded the threshold of $ 2.0 billion, and this year we have already recorded a double-digit growth in trade.
