Nikol Pashinyan Sums Up the Proceedings of My Step for Kotayk Marz Investment Forum
Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan is in Tsakhkadzor on a working visit held in the frame of My Step for Kotayk Marz investment forum. The Head of Government visited a local products exhibition organized as part of the forum. The Premier viewed the exhibits and talked with business representatives on their ongoing activities, production capacities and development programs. 25 investment projects in agriculture, industry, tourism, renewable energy and other sectors were presented to forum participants.
Summarizing the proceedings of the forum, the Premier noted that the proposed investment programs evidence that Kotaik Marz is developing according to the priorities of the Armenian government.
“The first is agriculture. I meant exactly that when I talked about the industrialization of agriculture. What we have seen, in particular, about the new strawberry technology is the industrialization of agriculture. Fortunately, there are such trends in Armenia, and strawberry exports from Armenia have tripled this year. It is a very serious indicator.
Why is this indicator that important: because this process is not very much dependent on meteorological conditions. That is, it represents industrial agriculture, which is consistent with our direction. The next direction is tourism, which also introduces a new culture, and I hope successfully. We have seen here 2 hotel projects, which is a new phenomenon in Armenia, and we hope that it will succeed. We have also seen examples of processing industry, examples of technological activity, and it is very gratifying,” he said.
The Prime Minister stressed that the government has the task of promoting economic activity: “The most important role of these forums is to encourage economic activity among the largest possible number of citizens of the Republic of Armenia, as well as to show the government’s interest: our interest is not to make money for ourselves; our interest is that you could make money, and that is why we consider it our mission. Of course, when we say “make money,” we mean that it should be done legally through fair competition and justice, in general. This is perhaps the most important message we want to send to our business community. Our goal is to help you make money, get richer and enrich others: not us, but the country, the state, the nation,” Nikol Pashinyan concluded.
