YEREVAN, January 25. /ARKA/. Armenian Prime Minister Karen Karapetyan and his Dutch counterpart Mark Rutte discussed cooperation in agriculture during a meeting on the sidelines of the World Economic Forum in Davos, the Armenian government press office said today.
Karapetyan was said to have thanked Rutte for technical and financial assistance provided by the Netherlands to Armenia in the implementation of a set of reforms, including through the European Bank for the Development and Reconstruction, the World Bank and the International Monetary Fund.
Karapetyan spoke about Armenia’s macroeconomic indicators and positive growth trends, noting that Armenia’s membership in the Eurasian Economic Union and active cooperation with the European Union as well as friendly relations with neighboring Iran make it interesting in terms of entering the regional markets.

Karapetyan singled out the reforms initiated by the government in the field of agriculture, stressing that there is a great potential for cooperation.
