YEREVAN, MARCH 26, NOYAN TAPAN. The opportunities of cooperation
between Armenia and India in the civil service sector were discussed
at the March 25 meeting of the Chairman of the RA Civil Service Council
Manvel Badalian and the Indian Ambassador to Armenia Mrs. Rina Pandey.
M. Badalian spoke about the Armenian civil service system, its
functions, and the mechanisms to ensure stability of this system. He
said that the Council has studied India’s civil service which has quite
a lot of similarities with the Armenian system. India’s experience of
many years and the similarities in the systems of the two countries
create opportunities for close cooperation.
In the words of R. Pandey, India has accumulated great experience
in the selection and training of civil servants, and this experience
may be useful for Armenia.
According to a press release of the RA Civil Service Council, an
agreement was reached to establish links between the Council and
India’s civil service management and organization bodies and to
discuss the opportunities of building these relations within the
framework of intergovernmental cooperation as well.
