ArmInfo.Armenian-Chinese relations are developing dynamically, as stated by Chen Ming, the Charge d'Affaires of the Chinese Embassy in Armenia, during a conversation with journalists at the international conference  "Modernization of China: Armenian-Chinese Relations" on November 12th.  In this vein, he mentioned that on the sidelines of the BRICS summit in Kazan, the Chairman of the People's Republic of China, Xi Jinping, met with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan for the first time since 2019.

"The parties discussed issues related to the development of bilateral  cooperation. We are certainly ready to assist in the development of  Armenian-Chinese relations," the Chinese diplomat said.  When asked  about potential areas for developing cooperation, Chen Ming noted  that China is aware of Armenia's current emphasis on developing high  technologies in the country and Beijing has several advantages in  this area.

"We are glad to see electric cars imported from China on the roads of  Armenia and we believe there is potential for further development of  our cooperation in the sphere of the so-called green society. This is  just one area. Other promising areas of cooperation could include new  energy sources, information technology and other areas," the Chinese  diplomat emphasized.

Additionally, he noted that China is in favor of unblocking  communications in the South Caucasus and promoting peaceful  coexistence among the countries in the region.  "We hope that the  countries of the South Caucasus will be able to resolve all existing  problems and challenges through peaceful negotiations," the diplomat  said.  According to him, considering that leading Chinese companies  are interested in participating in the economic development of the  region and improving infrastructure, China is ready to help with the  peaceful resolution of current issues in the South Caucasus.
