At a meeting with Olaf Schulz, the Nokia Head of Government Relations for Europe, the Middle East and Africa, Martirosyan expressed hope that the company's representation in Armenia will go beyond telecommunications to also encompass digital infrastructure.
Also, the minister called for Nokia's participation in the project of installing a 5G network throughout the country.
