He also presented the Armenian government’s efforts in this direction.

The deputy foreign minister reaffirmed Armenia’s readiness to cooperate with all partners to strengthen synergies and promote a sustainable future, including in its capacity as the incoming president of the 17th meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the Convention on Biological Diversity (COP17).
