YEREVAN, February 14. /ARKA/. The annual Summit of Minds, hosted traditionally by the French town of Chamonix, will be held in Armenia this year, the press service of Armenian president said. It said the event called the Armenian Summit of Minds will be held June 7-9 in the capital Yerevan and the resort town of Dilijan. The sponsor of the summit is the Monthly Barometer magazine.

The agreement on the organization of this event in Armenia was reached in September 2018, when Armenian President Armen Sarkissian took part in last year’s Summit of Minds as a key speaker. Once a year, The Summit of Minds brings together 300 personalities and their partners in Chamonix, for a three day conference centered on new ideas and friendships.

The main purpose of the event is to present new ideas on the most important issues of global importance, as well as to establish trusting partnerships through direct discussions. Armenia is the first country to host the summit outside of Chamonix.

The main topic of discussion at the Armenian Summit of Minds will be "Regional geopolitics, economics and investment: the impact of multipolarity on trade and investment flows."

One of the important features of the summit to be held in Armenia is the rich cultural component of the program, including visits to the historical and cultural sights.

"Hosting such an event in Armenia, as well as influential people and leaders representing business, science and politics, will contribute to raising the international image of Armenia. The summit is an exceptional opportunity for Armenia to present its potential, develop new areas of cooperation and establish business ties," the press service said. -0-
