Mayors of six Romanian cities visiting Armenia

Mayors of six Romanian cities are paying a first study visit to Armenia, organized by Armenia’s Foreign Ministry and Ministry of Territorial Administration.

Prior to their visit the mayors were received in Armenia’s Embassy in Bucharest where Ambassador Hamlet Gevorgyan spoke with them about the importance Armenia’s government attaches to decentralized cooperation with partner countries.

Gevorgyan also said that such visits contribute to the exchange of experience among communities in the sphere of self-governance, tourism, as well as to local production projects.

The Romanian side, in turn, noted that it has accumulated enough experience in decentralized cooperation and is interested in forging such ties with Armenia, especially given Armenians’ decades-long presence in the country and the rich cultural heritage they have left.

In Armenia the Romanian mayors will meet the management of the Ministry of Territorial Administration; visit the Mother See of Holly Etchmiadzin.

They will further visit Tavush and Shirak provinces and will discuss with Dilijan and Gyumri municipal authorities the possibilities of establishing ties.
