ArmInfo.  Head of the Republic of Armenia Armen Sarkissian sent a letter to General Secretary of the International Organisation of La Francophonie (IOF)  Louise Mushikiwabo , in which he spoke about several presidential  programs, the purpose of which is to form a regional platform for  economic cooperation in Armenia.

As reported by the RA President's press office, Sarkissian invited  Louise Mushikiwabo to Yerevan to take part in the second " Summit of  Minds ", which is scheduled for October 10 to Oct.11 and which will  unite world famous political, economic, scientific and cultural  figures. The main topics of the summit will be geopolitics and  artificial intelligence.  "The success of the first summit in 2019  prompted us to make it annual and outside Chamonix, with the aim of  expanding the geography of the summit and identifying new ideas and  opportunities," the letter of the Armenian President says.

Sarkissian also spoke about another presidential initiative - the  ATOM (Advanced Tomorrow) program, the main goal of which is to make  Armenia a regional platform in the field of high technologies and  artificial intelligence.

The RA President also touched upon his initiative to create the Club  of Successful Small States, noting that he discussed the program with  the leaders of a number of interested countries, including some  French- speaking countries, including Rwanda and Qatar.

According to him, the goal of the initiative is not to replace the  existing links of cooperation and not to create a cumbersome  structure, but to unite small states that can achieve success in  various fields within a flexible platform for cooperation and  dialogue.
