WASHINGTON, DC – Partnership between Armenia and the US grows stronger each day, the USAID Administrator Samantha Power said on Monday.
“In talking to Armenians it is very clear that the focus right now is on building resilience – in the food security domain, building resilience when it comes to extreme weather events and climate shocks, and, of course, building energy resilience, so they are getting their energy from a more diversified pool of suppliers,” she said in a video that concludes her working visit to Armenia.
USAID is privileged to support Armenians in each of these domains, Power said.
“But we also recognize that we want to move this relationship from aid to trade. And that is why we’ve made a series of new announcements, including a new public-private partnership that is an example of a modern partnership, and the strong partnership that is getting stronger every day between the US and Armenia,” she concluded.
