Armenian Deputy Prime Minister meets new ADB Armenian office head

 16:30,

YEREVAN, 17 JULY, ARMENPRESS: On July 17, the Armenian Deputy Prime Minister Tigran Khachatryan met with Paolo Spantigati, the outgoing (Asian Development Bank) ADB Director of the Armenian Resident Mission, and his successor Donald Lambert.

During the meeting, Tigran Khachatryan thanked Spantigati for his ‘active and productive’ activities in Armenia and spoke about the important achievements within the framework of cooperation with the ADB, the Deputy Prime Minister’s Office said in a readout posted on social media.

The Deputy Prime Minister and the newly appointed head of the ADB Armenian office noted that effective cooperation with ADB will continue.

During the meeting, ideas were exchanged regarding the implementation of the North-South Road Corridor Investment Program as well as issues related to the sustainable urban development and improving the seismic safety of schools.

The interlocutors also specifically referred to the need for the development of irrigation infrastructure and effective management of water resources, emphasizing the importance of expanding cooperation in this direction.

Emil Lazarian: “I should like to see any power of the world destroy this race, this small tribe of unimportant people, whose wars have all been fought and lost, whose structures have crumbled, literature is unread, music is unheard, and prayers are no more answered. Go ahead, destroy Armenia . See if you can do it. Send them into the desert without bread or water. Burn their homes and churches. Then see if they will not laugh, sing and pray again. For when two of them meet anywhere in the world, see if they will not create a New Armenia.” - WS
