The Speaker of the House discussed Czech-Armenian inter-parliamentary and business cooperation with her Armenian counterpart in Prague.
The Speaker of the Armenian National Assembly Alen Simonyan was at the head of a Parliamentary delegation and accompanied by H.E. Mr. Ashot Hovakimian, the Ambassador of Armenia to the Czech Republic.
The main topics of the joint meeting were Czech support for Armenia’s pro-European orientation, continued cooperation between the two legislatures, and opportunities for a more intensive Czech-Armenian trade exchange.
“We have long-term cooperation with Armenia and support its pro-European orientation not only within the framework of the Eastern Partnership but also, for example, with bilateral projects to strengthen the role of civil society. I am pleased that the parliamentary contacts between our countries are deepening and I am convinced that this positive trend will continue,” said the Speaker of the Chamber of Deputies, Markéta Pekarová Adamová.
Last September, a delegation of the House Committee on the Environment visited Armenia. The Speaker made an official visit to Yerevan at the beginning of this year. On the way, she was accompanied by a business delegation focused mainly on the dynamically developing information technology sector.
“In addition to IT, promising areas of Czech-Armenian business cooperation are, for example, healthcare, agriculture, water and waste management. Our country is also well known for its energy tradition. In addition to the modernization of nuclear power plants, we can also provide highly qualified solutions in the field of renewable resources and hydropower,” added the Speaker of the House of Representatives, Markéta Pekarová Adamová.
New opportunities and impulses for further potential cooperation of Czech companies are also offered in Armenia in the field of construction and modernization of transport infrastructure, supply of mining technologies, or brewing.
