Commandant’s Office Holds Regular Meeting
The Commandant’s Office today held a regular meeting, chaired by Deputy Prime Minister Tigran Avinyan.
Addressing those present, Tigran Avinyan said:
“We are holding another meeting of the Commandant’s Office. First of all, I want to congratulate our colleague, Foreign Minister Mr. Zohrab Mnatsakanyan on his birthday. Mr. Mnatsakanyan, I would like to thank you and all the staff of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, our ambassadors, diplomats for highly qualified work, especially during this difficult time.
Today we will focus on the problems and solutions proposed by relevant government agencies. We will also discuss some pressing activities. I mean the problems of elderly people in terms of improving their way of life, providing extra opportunities and taking measures to protect them from unnecessary risks.”
In a bid to boost and foster economic activities, the possibility of expanding the list of goods and raw materials eligible for freight between the Islamic Republic of Iran and the Republic of Armenia was discussed.
Given the fact that the Ministry of Labor and Social Affairs is negotiating with Haypost CJSC to ensure that the company staff personally visit beneficiaries at the place of residence and give out pensions, the importance of ensuring the safety of postmen and the provision of sanitary and hygienic standards was emphasized at the meeting.
Reference was made to the use of IT tools in the fight against coronavirus, as well as to the need for streamlining employer-employee relations amid the standing state of emergency.
