    BUSINESS DELEGATION OF SAINT PETERSBURG PAYS VISIT TO ARMENIA

    Noyan Tapan
    Oct 29, 2008

    YEREVAN, OCTOBER 29, NOYAN TAPAN. An agreement on cooperation was
    signed on October 29 between the Union of Manufacturers and Businessmen
    of Armenia (UMBA) and the Information and Business Center of Saint
    Petersburg that has operated in Yerevan for two years. The UMBA
    chairman Arsen Ghazarian and the center head Hamlet Minasian signed
    the document.

    The sigining of the agreement took place within the framework of a
    three-day visit of a delegation of Saint Petersburg's businessmen
    and administrative workers of the economic sector. The delegation
    arrived in Armenia on October 28. It is led by the head of Saint
    Petersburg's Vasilevskiostrovski district Alexander Isayev and
    composed of businessmen engaged in such sectors as tourism, mechanical
    engineering, and mining industry.

    During a meeting with UMBA representatives held before the signing
    ceremony, A. Isayev said that the international financial crisis has
    not left a negative impact on the development of Saint Petersburg's
    economy, which is evident from the fact that the tax revenues have
    not declined as compared with last year. According to him, there was
    no decline in the number of tourists to Saint Petersburg either.

    The RA deputy minister of economy Vahe Danielian spoke about Armenia's
    economic development, saying that the country is proceeding along
    the path of developing a knowledge-based and innovation economy.

    The CEO of UMBA Gagik Makarian said that business links between
    Armenia and the second largest city of Russia are almost absent,
    and the sides have the problem of getting information about each
    other's opportunities.

    An Armenia - Saint Petersburg business forum will be held on October
    30, during which face-to-face talks will also be organized with
    Armenian businessmen. The Russian businessmen plan to visit some
    Armenian enterprises.
