JAPAN TO OPEN EMBASSY IN ARMENIA NEXT YEAR
20:50 ~U 25.12.13
The Japanese government has approved the 2014 budget, which envisages
the opening of Japanese embassies in a number of countries, including
Armenia.
Speaking Tert.am, Republican Party of Armenia (RPA) parliamentary group
member, Chairman of the Armenian-Japanese parliamentary friendship
group Samvel Farmanyan, share his comments on the issue.
“A Permanent Representation facilitates development of bilateral
relations. In 2010, an Armenian embassy was opened in Japan, and we
have since recorded progress. We appreciate the Japanese government’s
decision to budget for an embassy in Yerevan,” Farmanyan said.
“Our relations with Asian nations are most important, and Japan is
a priority,” he added.
Among the similarities between Armenia and Japan is the fact that
both the states lack natural resources, but rely on human capital.
Farmanyan believes that a Japanese embassy in Yerevan will boost
bilateral trade.
As to what would be of interest to Japan, he said: “Besides Armenian
cognac and agricultural products, we have great potential in the IT
sector, in investing in new production technologies.”
