Russian and Armenian businessmen will launch a business council. Dmitry Volvach, Russian Deputy Minister of Economic Development, told about this to a press conference Tuesday.

He added that a center for strategic development of public administration will be established, too.

Moreover, the Russian official explained that there was an Armenian-Russian business council before, too.

"It’s just that now its work will be intensified. We will receive signals about the problems and work on them to improve the business climate in our countries," explained Volvach.

According to him, the Russian agency for small and medium-sized businesses is ready to provide such support to small businesses that do not have enough resources to find and establish business contacts.

The Russian deputy minister of economic development added that, as a rule, only large companies have such resources.
