On the occasion of the eighth anniversary of CEPA, RA Deputy Prime  Minister Mher Grigoryan noted:  "Today, we have the opportunity not  only to look back on the path we have traveled, but also to formulate  a future. A future where the EU-Armenia partnership, along with the  new Armenia-EU partnership agenda, will become the foundation of our  reforms, the benchmark for development programs, and a key pillar of  international relations. The partnership between Armenia and the  European Union is already reaching a new level of effectiveness,  preserving the value-based foundation of the EU-Armenia partnership  and expanding its political and economic reach."

The Head of the EU Delegation, Ambassador Vassilis Maragos,  emphasized: "Over the years, our cooperation has developed thanks to  the EU's continued support for Armenia's reform agenda, socioeconomic  stability, economic diversification, and strengthening regional  ties."

We value this opportunity to  showcase Denmark's experience in implementing reforms and achieving  results through innovation in the public sector, as well as through  collaboration with diverse partners in society, both nationally and  internationally. This approach enables the development of structures  and solutions that respond to the challenges of the modern world and  can help unlock the full potential of the EYFS."
