The President welcomed the guests and underscored that Armenia highly appreciates its cooperation with the World Bank, a partner and an organization having made an invaluable contribution to the social-economic development of our country, launched since 1992. Serzh Sargsyan assured that Armenia has never considered the World Bank as a mere organization that finances investments programs, but a vital partner which supports economic reforms and human resource development through passing on the best international practice and knowledge in separate professional fields.
The World Bank Vice President underlined that it was with great pleasure and commitment that the bank cooperates with Armenia, a partner with the best performance rating in the region, and she was happy to continue supporting the country in improving living standards and reducing poverty.
Laura Tuck noted that Armenia’s membership in the Eurasian Economic Union opens up new and interesting perspectives, and the World Bank is ready to support the country in properly evaluating new opportunities, making the most of them and tackling challenges effectively.
