Welcoming the guests, Minister Grigoryan noted that he highly appreciated the cooperation with the bank and expressed conviction that the German government and KFW Bank's assistance to Armenia's energy sector would be continuous and effective.

Olaf Zimelka expressed hope that technical issues related to the project will be finalized in the near future, as a result of which the program will enter into the implementation stage.
