Tuesday,May 17
Recently a conference was held under the auspices of the Ministry
of Diaspora of various Armenian chambers of commerce and business
associations from all over the world. The event was inaugurated by
the Prime Minister of Armenia Mr. Tigran Sargsyan. During the two day
deliberations delegates representing twelve organizations resolved to
establish a global business association for all Armenian entrepreneurs
and called it the Armenian Trade Network, a name reminiscent of the
powerful old Armenian trade networks that linked East and West through
trade for several centuries. Towards the end of the conference,
the founding delegates were welcomed by the President of Armenia
HE Serge Sargsyan who congratulated and welcomed the initiative,
valued its significance for all Armenians and encouraged Diasporan
entrepreneurs to seek out business opportunities in Armenia. We have
asked the Secretary of the Board of the international Armenian Trade
Network about the status of the newly established organization and the
expected launch of its activities. Mr. Hrach Kaspar (representing the
Canada Armenia Business Council) replied that: “for the upcoming two
years, the founding assembly of the Armenian Trade Network entrusted
the Executive Board portfolio to the Canadian delegation, which
also received the mandate to register this new organization both in
Canada and an international jurisdiction. I am happy to report that
the registration process is already underway and will be completed
within one week, following which formal activities will commence,
especially the process of consolidating information on the various
Armenian business communities.”
