Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan has left for a working visit to Russia, where he will attend the Innoprom 2026 international industrial exhibition.

The Armenian premier will deliver a speech at the main plenary session of “Industry 360: Production without Borders,” the PM’s office told Armenian News-NEWS.am,

In addition, his meeting with Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin is scheduled within the framework of the visit.

Thus, Nikol Pashinyan’s name has reappeared on the list of invited speakers at the aforesaid exhibition after it was previously removed from the event’s program.

Initially, the Armenian prime minister was announced among the participants of the plenary session, along with Mikhail Mishustin and representatives of several other countries. Information about his participation was published on the official website of Innoprom and was distributed by Russian media. However, later Pashinyan’s name disappeared from the list of invited speakers, without any explanation from the event organizers.

This raised questions about the possible cancellation of the visit or adjustment of the program. At the same time, there were no official comments from the event organizers and the Armenian government at that time.

Now the participation of the Armenian premier has been officially confirmed. In addition to speaking at the aforementioned plenary session, he will have a bilateral meeting with Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.

The Innoprom 2026 international industrial exhibition is taking place in Yekaterinburg from Monday to Thursday and traditionally brings together heads of government, ministers, as well as representatives of industry and business from dozens of countries.
