The Deputy Minister of Territorial Administration and Infrastructure Asatur Vardanyan emphasized in his speech that the development of the mining sector requires a responsible approach, broad implementation of modern technologies, adherence to strict environmental standards, and open dialogue with the public:
According to him, it is on these principles that the ministry builds its policy aimed at improving the legislative framework, simplifying administration, and expanding international partnerships:
“In this context, we attach particular importance to cooperation with our partners, especially with AAMM:
We have close relations with the Association: the working group, which has been operating for about a year, has recorded tangible results and is actively involved in the reforms being implemented:
Today’s memorandum is viewed as a powerful incentive for further deepening our interaction:
I am confident that it will bring the state, the private sector, and our scientific community closer together, contributing to the sustainable development of the industry:
This goal will also be served by the joint fund being created:
