On May 11 Mher Shahgeldyan, Chairman of the NA Standing Committee on
Defence, National Security and Internal Affairs received the
delegation headed by Lord Max Rufus Mosley, International Automobile
Federation.

Lord Mosley noted that the goal of the visit to Armenia is to deepen
the cooperation with the National Council of International Automobile
Federation, as well as support Armenia in the sphere’s reforming. It
was noted that the Federation implements programmes of road security
in about 40 countries of the world, cooperating with UN and World
Bank, and in April 2007 the week of UN road security would take
place.

year as a result of accidents the number of the victims decreased
from 7500 to 5000, and corruption considerably reduced.

security sphere, noting that Armenia took considerable steps in this
direction. In this context the clarification of the legislative
field, the technical upgrading of the sphere, training of human
resources, rise of public awareness, the role of NGOs was
highlighted.

During the meeting the sides discussed other issues of bilateral
interest.
