Armenian Prime Minister Tigran Sargsyan met Monday with Mr. Kayvan Baroumand, the Chief Operating Officer of U.S.-based Plug and Play incubator to discuss possibility of implementation of joint programs and other issues of mutual concern.

Opening and commissioning of Plug and Play’s Armenia office and establishment of Armenia’s trade mission to the Silicon Valley to boost U.S.-Armenia cooperation were said to be a priority.

The two men also stressed the need for promoting closer contacts between experts and companies, the government’s information center reported.
