Representatives of 20 companies arrived in Armenia from the Austrian side, Austrian Foreign Minister Alexander Schallenberg said at the Armenian-Austrian business forum in Yerevan on Thursday.

This testifies to the interest in Armenia. He expressed hope that this would be a new page in bilateral relations, which, in his opinion, cannot be considered complete without strong business ties.

The signing of the memorandums will create the basis for the development of cooperation. Politicians can open doors for business, form an agenda, show interest, but business should take the leading role, the minister said.
