/PanARMENIAN.Net/ Currently in Italy, Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan met with Food and Agriculture Organization Director-General Dr. Jacques Diouf to discuss a bilateral cooperation-related agenda.

The FAO Director-General said, for his part, that the new cooperation priorities may result in a more efficacious collaboration between the Republic of Armenia and his organization.
