Paglieri stressed that the Armenian government gave great importance to their presence in the country, emphasizing that the delegation was received by Armenian senior officials.
“There were about 400 meetings in a day's work. The mission was very beneficial. In Argentina there are a lot of Armenian businessmen of different sectors, it is a very dynamic community and I think we can all work together”, said the Paglieri, adding that they also invited Armenian entrepreneurs to participate in an Agribusiness SME Forum that is annually held in Las Parejas, Santa Fe Province.
In a joint press conference, the Armenian Ambassador in Argentina, Vahagn Melikian and Ohanes Bogiatzian, head of the Argentinean-Armenian Chamber of Commerce and Industry, expressed their satisfaction with the trip.
Bogiatzian stressed that “the warmth with which the Argentine delegation was received in Armenia is the result of the relationship between the Armenian community of Argentina and the Argentinean Government, which recognized the Armenian Genocide, opened the Armenian Embassy and organized the first trade mission to Armenia”.
Melikian explained that “Armenia can be a springboard for Argentina to reach markets such as Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, other countries of the former Soviet Union and Europe. Russia is our strategic partner and we have a system of tax-free exchange”.
