The leadership of the Ministry of Internal Affairs of Armenia, headed by Minister Arpine Sargsyan, met with international partners to present the results of ongoing reforms and outline upcoming priorities.

In her opening speech, Minister Sargsyan expressed gratitude to the European Union and the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) for supporting the organization of the third coordination meeting between the ministry and international partners.

She noted that the platform has become an institutional mechanism for continuously monitoring reforms, development, and joint results.

According to the minister, about 70 percent of the actions identified through the needs assessment have already been implemented through joint efforts, while the remaining 30 percent are in progress.

EU Ambassador to Armenia Vassilis Maragos stated that joint efforts have marked an important milestone in Armenia–EU relations, particularly in the areas of reforms and visa liberalization.

He noted that an action plan on visa liberalization has been submitted, describing it as the result of over a year of productive dialogue and aligned with Armenia’s reform agenda. Maragos emphasized that its implementation will serve both bilateral relations and the interests of Armenian citizens.

UNDP Resident Representative in Armenia Natia Natsvlishvili described the reforms in the Ministry of Internal Affairs and the police system as significant. She noted the transition toward a more integrated institutional model, where police, rescue, and migration services operate within a coordinated framework.

According to her, this reflects not only structural changes but also a deeper transformation in service delivery, including a shift toward more professional and system-based operations supported by improved human resource management, digital tools, and operational capacity.

Minister Sargsyan later presented key reforms implemented in recent years and the results achieved. Deputy Minister Armen Ghazaryan outlined sector-specific reforms and upcoming programs.

The meeting was attended by representatives of international partner organizations and diplomatic missions accredited in Armenia.
