“Armenia and Russia are bound by long-standing friendship, so we are very happy that a delegation from Armenia has arrived in the Vologda Region on an official visit”, said Vologda Oblast Governor Oleg Kuvshinnikov.
A delegation from the Vologda Oblast led by First Deputy Governor Alexey Sherlygin arrived in Armenia on an official visit in December 2015.
The main objective of the visit was to establish friendly and partnership relations between the Vologda Region and Armavir, to define guidelines for collaboration. Mr. Sherlygin met with the top leadership of Armenia’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry and a Chief of the Russian Trade Representation in Armenia.
In April 2016 Vologda Oblast Governor Oleg Kuvshinnikov came to Armenia as a member of the Russian delegation led by Prime-Minister Dmitry Medvedev. An agreement between the Government of the Vologda Region and the Administration of the Armavir Region on trade, economic, science, technological and cultural cooperation was signed by Vologda Region Governor Oleg Kuvshinnikov and Armavir Region Governor Ashot Kagramanyan. The focus of the agreement is on cooperation in timber complex and agriculture.
In the course of the visit to the Vologda Oblast, the Governor of Armavir (Armenia) will meet with the top leadership of Vologda Oblast and heads of the leading enterprises.
Such areas as agriculture, food industry and raw materials for food industry, advanced woodworking and metalworking, and manufacture of building materials and timbered house building can be indicated as priority for future collaboration between the Vologda Oblast and Armenia.
Armavir Region Governor Ashot Kagramanyan noted that it is necessary to open regular flights from Cherepovets to Yerevan to boost economic and trade relations between the regions.
