/PanARMENIAN.Net/ An Armenian-Japanese business forum will be held
in Yerevan in October. Representatives of largest Japanese companies
will participate in it. As stated by Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister
Armen Bayburtyan, the arrangement on holding the forum was made at a
Moscow round table with participation of Japanese companies that have
offices in the Russian capital June 24. As noted by A. Bayburtyan,
comprehensive information on the economic situation and investment
opportunities in Armenia was provided to the Japanese businessmen. In
the course of the round table promising fields of cooperation
like tourism, chemical production, energy and electronics were
determined. The commodity turnover between Armenia and Japan made
over $12 million in 2004. In Bayburtyan’s words, this does not use
the potential of bilateral commercial and economic cooperation to the
full. He also remarked that in Yerevan he had met with the Japanese
Foreign Ministry delegation headed by Deputy Director General of
the Department of Europe. In the course of the meeting the parties
discussed a wide spectrum of bilateral relations, as well as prospects
of regional developments with the participation of the Japanese party,
Mediamax reported.
