Von der Leyen highlights a 200 million euro connectivity package for Armenia and notes that Autonomous Trade Measures will open new opportunities.
Dear @NikolPashinyan, it is good to see you as always. We are bringing Armenia closer to the EU, while working on a peaceful and prosperous South Caucasus. We are building roads and bridges with our €200 million connectivity package. And bridges between people, with our peace-fostering investments. Our Autonomous Trade Measures will open new opportunities. With 80% of Armenia’s exports to the EU market now tariff free. We expect the final adoption of these measures by EU legislators tomorrow - in record time! And finally we are strengthening energy security. So: the 🇪🇺🇦🇲 partnership is moving fast, forward and stronger than ever.
