ArmInfo. Armenian-Swedish business-forum started in Yerevan today. The
forum is held within the frames of the visit of Sweden’s Secretary
of State for Trade Gunnar Wieslander to Yerevan.

As Economy Minister of Armenia Nerses Yeritsyan told journalists,
the main directions of possible cooperation of the two states will
be discussed during three-day meetings, in particular, a possibility
of attraction of the Swedish capital to such spheres of Armenia’s
economy as infrastructure, energy, especially the renewable energy,
and information technologies. The minister pitifully mentioned a low
level of bilateral goods turnover, that is conditioned by lack of a
necessary information about each other. Holding of such events will
allow to somewhat replenish this gap.

To note, representatives of such Swedish companies as ABB, Ericsson,
ITT-flygt, SWECO, Nasdaq OMX, EKN and others take part in the forum,
during which the state of Armenia’s economy, short-term programmes in
energy, nature protection, information technologies, infrastructures,
being implemented in different spheres, as well as the projects
financed by the International Monetary Fund, etc will be introduced
to the Swedish entrepreneurs. The forum has been organized by the
Armenian Development Agency.
