Parliament debates ratification of Armenia-U.S. agreement on mutual assistance between customs bodies

The Armenian parliament debated on Wednesday the bill on ratifying the Armenia-U.S. agreement on mutual assistance between customs bodies.

The agreement was signed in June 2024.

Deputy Chairman of the State Revenue Committee Raphael Gevorgyan told lawmakers during earlier committee hearings that the agreement is an important achievement in promoting transparency and information exchange.

He said that aside from the information exchange agreement the cooperation with the U.S. government also involves major reequipment projects. “All these processes are properly advancing,” he said.

Gevorgyan expressed hope that this year significant improvements will be made, including through the U.S. support, in several border crossing points.
