YEREVAN, DECEMBER 16, ARMENPRESS: Armenian-Spanish business office
opened today in Yerevan founded by Spanish LUPICINIO lawyers’ company.

The prior goal of the Armenian office will be to ensure qualitative
legal consultation for Armenian and Spanish businessmen in the
investment sphere as well as present the interests of businessmen in
private and public sectors.

Armenian deputy economy minister Ara Petrosyan welcomed the
Armenian-Spanish initiative, noting that the office is a big step
in improvement of Armenia’s investment field. According to him,
it opened on time as the Armenian government is forming a number of
programs for future – Jermuk tourism development strategic program,
information and high technology in Armenia, construction of North-South
highway to which the Armenian-Spanish office may have its contribution.

According to him, Armenian Economy Ministry will do everything to
support the office and promote its effective activity.

Representative of LUPICINO company Lupicinio Rodriges presented the
activity of the chief office, its issues and achievements. According
to him, Spain today has a number of issues particularly in the
economic sphere.

"Today a new role-maker appeared in our country – China, which competes
not only in prices but in quality and volume of products. In this
pre-context we wish to involve other countries in this new game of
economic role-makers, in this case Armenia. We will help the Armenian
businessmen to enter Spanish market, will promote the sale of products
and will support in their advertising," Rodriges said.

Armenian honorary consul to Spain Luis Barbera Sabatero highly assessed
cooperation and expressed assurance that Armenian-Spanish friendship
on this level will too be mutually beneficial and fruitful.
