ArmInfo.  Armenia has proposed the United States to begin developing a roadmap for the implementation of the TRIPP (Trump Route for International Peace and  Prosperity) project.  Armenian Minister of Economy Gevorg Papoyan  shared this information in a post on his Facebook page, citing the  results of a meeting with the head of the US State Department's  Bureau of European and Eurasian Affairs Brendan Hanrahan.

During the meeting, he noted that Armenia is extremely interested in  this project, proposing to develop it the public-private partnership  (PPP) format. According to Papoyan, the parties also discussed the  prospects for expanding economic cooperation between Armenia and the  United States and increasing trade turnover.  They touched upon the  possibilities of developing bilateral relations in a number of key  areas: trade, investment, energy, high-tech, innovation, tourism,  agriculture, food security, information technology and digital  economy.

They emphasized the importance of deepening mutually beneficial  cooperation between the two countries and expressed their willingness  to continue joint work aimed at strengthening economic ties,  improving the investment climate and promoting new initiatives.

Views were exchanged on the Crossroads of Peace. "In this context, I  emphasized that the Crossroads of Peace is not only an economic  project, but also an initiative aimed at strengthening regional peace  and stability, which will contribute to enhancing cooperation and  reducing tensions in the region. I also noted that Armenia  underscores the American experience and support in the modernization  of infrastructure and border security," Papoyan said.
