This meeting also aimed to gather partner perspectives on the challenges at hand.

As the representative of the collective voice of employers, Vahagn Hambardzumyan expressed his readiness to actively participate in the actions outlined in the program, supporting the government of Armenia in developing policies and tools aimed at promoting formal employment and improving the legal framework.
At the conclusion of the meeting, the guests thanked President Hambardzumyan for his proactive suggestions, which will be incorporated into the ILO’s new program package.
