Minister of Transport and Communications Manuk Vardanyan received Kazakhstan's Ambassador to Armenia Ayimdos Bozzhigitov on Tuesday, according to the press service of Armenia's Ministry of Transport and Communications.

Upon his guest's request, the minister briefed him on the transport infrastructures in Armenia, and particularly the current projects being implemented in the sector.
