“In talking to Armenians it is very clear that the focus right now is on building resilience – in the food security domain, building resilience when it comes to extreme weather events and climate shocks, and, of course, building energy resilience, so they are getting their energy from a more diversified pool of suppliers,” she said in a video that concludes her working visit to Armenia.

“But we also recognize that we want to move this relationship from aid to trade. And that is why we’ve made a series of new announcements, including a new public-private partnership that is an example of a modern partnership, and the strong partnership that is getting stronger every day between the US and Armenia,” she concluded.
