It said the agreement to this end was reached in Tokyo by the visiting Armenian foreign minister Edward Nalbandian and JETRO president Yasup Khayashi. Edward Nalbandian is visiting Japan at the invitation of its government.

The foreign ministry in Yerevan said Nalbandian and JETRO president discussed chances of developing Armenian-Japanese trade and economic cooperation. It said the Armenian minister presented the investment climate of Armenia.
