The delegation was headed Gagik Makaryan, who is the chairman of the employers union of Armenia. He expressed enthusiasm about the changes taking place in Armenia, saying they will prompt new groups of investors to come to Armenia.

Speaking on behalf of the meeting participants, Makaryan said that they are all eager to implement investment projects in our country, which is consistently improving its business environment.
