The minister assessed the participation of the Republic of Armenia in the format of the “Great Seven” (G7) environment ministers as a particularly important and symbolic event for our country.
“Armenia’s presence on this platform testifies to the growing confidence in our country and the increase of our role in the international environmental agenda. The G7 brings together the leading countries shaping the global agenda, and our involvement in this format gives us the opportunity to raise Armenia’s voice at the global level, presenting our approaches and priorities.
