Armenia thankful to German government and KfW Bank for assistance
Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan met with Mr. Roland Ziller, First Vice-President of KfW Bank (Germany), the RA government's information center said.

The Prime Minister thanked the German government and the KfW Bank for support and responsiveness to Armenia's needs. Bilateral cooperation was said to have been quite successful so far. "Years of cooperation proved that very good results can be achieved," he said.

The parties have stressed the importance of the KfW-supported programs in Armenia, which seek to develop the domestic mortgage market, local communities and the energy sector. Tigran Sargsyan indicated that the Armenian government shares in the Bank's focus on the welfare-related problems faced up in the disaster zone.

Mindful of the need for ensuring program continuity, the Prime Minister wished the Bank every success in its future commitments and assured of his government's readiness to promote mutually beneficial cooperation as much as possible.
