The ambassador, in turn, emphasized [that] Armenia-United Kingdom relations are at the level of strategic partnership.

During the meeting, we discussed infrastructure projects.

I informed the ambassador that the Ministry of TAI [i.e. Territorial Administration and Infrastructure] is implementing a large infrastructure project, and it would be very desirable to see UK companies in these projects, international tenders.
