It supposes a joint work in a number of directions. In particular, ensuring uninterrupted entry for Armenian vehicles via Russia, and vice versa.

As for the upcoming mutual visits with Russia, the minister informed that he is going to take part in the Transportation Week in Russia in December during which regional transportation issues will be discussed.
