YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 3, ARMENPRESS: Prime Minister of Armenia Tigran
Sargsyan received today Ambassadors of Great Britain and Northern
Ireland to Armenia Mr. Jonathan James Aves and Mrs Catherine Jane
Leach. Government’s press office reported that congratulating the
ambassadors on starting their diplomatic mission in Armenia, the Prime
Minister noted that Armenia is interested in boosting relations with
Great Britain. “Much depends on your work. The first important thing
is balanced approach of diplomacy of Great Britain in the region. We
do not have oil, but we have other resources – more expensive and
more important. First of all it is human capital, we put our accent on.

That is why Information Technology is one of our prior directions,”
Tigran Sargsyan said. The prime minister noted that Armenia’s economy
must be attractive for British investors and it will give new impetus
to the development of bilateral relations.

In her turn, Mrs Catherine Jane Leach expressed conviction that the
work of the two ambassadors will bring the Armenian-British relations
to a new intensive phase. The ambassadors noted that British companies
are interested in making investments in Armenia, specifically in the
spheres of mine industry and IT.

The interlocutors also referred to Armenia’s economic policy in
different branches, bilateral cultural cooperation and issues relating
to Armenia-EU cooperation.
