JAPANESE GROW INTERESTED IN ARMENIAN MARKET
YEREVAN, JULY 7, ARMENPRESS: A deputy trade and economic development
minister, Tigran Davtian, argued today that Japanese businessmen are showing
increasingly growing interest in Armenia and are definitely set to enter its
market.
Talking to Armenpress Davtian said that was his impression from a June
23-24 Armenian-Japanese business conference held in the Russian capital. He
said he meant leading Japanese companies which, however, before deciding to
enter a market usually weight all possible positive and negative
consequences. “At any rate, the Moscow conference was the first and serious
step as a follow-up to prime minister Margarian’s visit to Japan last
month,” the deputy minister said, adding also that Japanese businessmen’s
impression about Armenia from the conference was “very positive.” According
to him, the next such conference is likely to take place in Yerevan. Davtian
said Japanese are interested specially in Armenia’s tourist sector,
electronics and trade. Armenians presented to Japanese 24 programs,
encompassing food, light industry, tools building and high technology
sectors.
