Pashinyan: Export promotion agency formation underway

ArmInfo.During a briefing on July 2, 2026, Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan addressed questions regarding the European Union's proposal to establish an Export Promotion Agency in Armenia.

Pashinyan emphasized that the Armenian government is actively working  to support domestic exporters independently of external aid, noting  that numerous support programs are already in operation, with  additional measures approved during that day's cabinet meeting.  Regarding the specific proposal from European Commission President  Ursula von der Leyen, the Prime Minister confirmed that the process  of establishing the agency is already underway and that it will be  officially formed in the near future.
