Amalya Yeghoyan also met with President of Chinese Academy of Science and Technology for Development Hu Zhijian. During the meeting, it was decided to consolidate joint efforts in order to create an Armenian-Chinese engineering lab inside one of the Armenian universities, as well as start joint educational initiatives.

“Today China is considered one of the most innovative countries in the world. The participation in the forum was very important to discover the opportunities and programs that are offered by China today.

I attach great importance to the Chinese side’s readiness to cooperate with different countries and especially Armenia. Today is the best time for that cooperation, considering the fact that just a few days ago the mutual removal of visa requirement for Armenian and Chinese citizens was announced,” said Amalya Yeghoyan.
