Address By RA Prime Minister A. Margaryan To Participants Of The Meeting Of International Council Of Heads Of CIS Public Agencies For Youth Affairs
I am hereby offering my warm greetings to the participants of the 12th meeting of the International Council of Heads of CIS Public Agencies for Young Affairs.
Considering the ever growing role played by the youth at the current stage of the development of the society and the State as a whole, the government of the Republic of Armenia reiterates its determination to promote and enhance international youth cooperation on the basis of equality through close interaction between those public agencies and non-governmental organizations implementing and contributing to national youth policies.
I believe that the collaboration in the work with the young people has the chief goal of enhancing mutual understanding and friendship between different peoples, as well as re-affirming universal values.
Among key achievements of the International Council of Heads of CIS Public Agencies for Youth Affairs are the draft agreement between CIS-member states on the cooperation in the sphere of youth policies and the draft on the establishment of CIS-member States Inter-Disciplinary Council on Youth Affairs as submitted for the approval of the Council of Heads of Government.
I am confident that the decisions passed at this meeting will pave new ways of cooperation between our countries in the field of youth policies.
I wish you every success and fruitful work at this forum.
