Armenia joined the international US initiative Trade over Aid, which aims to develop trade, attract private investments and increase the economic stability of participating countries.
The accession was announced by the Deputy Minister of Foreign Affairs of Armenia, Robert Abisoghomonyan, during an international forum in New York. According to him, the new cooperation model focuses not on financial support, but on expanding trade opportunities, investment interaction and creating long-term economic conditions for growth.
At the forum, the Armenian side presented the project "Trump's Route for International Peace and Prosperity" (TRIPP), as well as initiatives in the field of artificial intelligence as examples of strategic cooperation with the USA.
Abisoghomonyan noted that Armenia's economic policy is aimed at diversification – expanding access to new markets and transport routes, as well as reducing dependence on individual sectors.
As part of the transition to a knowledge and technology-based economy, Armenia plans to develop innovations, support small and medium-sized businesses and invest in human capital.
The Trade over Aid platform brings together UN countries, the private sector and international organizations to create a more favorable business environment and stimulate economic growth based on market principles. The initiative officially launched on April 27, 2026.
