YEREVAN, FEBRUARY 14, ARMENPRESS. The Summit of Minds, an annual event taking place in the French resort area of Chamonix, this year will be held in Armenia for the first time.

“The Armenian Summit of Minds” will take place in Yerevan and Dilijan on June 7-9.

The Monthly Barometer, an analytical and predictive newsletter, is the chief partner of the Summit.

An agreement on holding the event has been reached in September 2018, when President of Armenia Armen Sarkissian was participating in the Summit of Minds as a main speaker, the Presidential Office told Armenpress.

The Summit of Minds is a major event gathering over 300 politicians, scientists, businessmen-investors, heads of large companies and media outlets from all over the world. The event aims at presenting new ideas on issues of global importance, establishing reliable partnering relations through direct discussions.

Armenia is the first country to host the event outside Chamonix.

The main topic of discussion during the expected Armenian Summit of Minds will be the “Regional geopolitics, economy and investments: Multipolarity impact on trade and investment flows”.

Famous speakers representing different countries will deliver reports on the topic. One of the main features of the event is the cultural part, including visits to Armenia’s historical-cultural sites to introduce the Summit participants on the history and culture of Armenia and its people.

Holding this event in Armenia will contribute to raising the country’s international ranking. The Summit is a unique opportunity to present Armenia’s potential, develop new cooperation directions and establish business ties.
