Russia and Armenia to discuss phytosanitary control issues
Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexei Overchuk announced Moscow's readiness for a constructive dialogue with Yerevan. The main topic of the upcoming discussions will be phytosanitary control issues, which are important for bilateral trade.
Phytosanitary standards regulate the rules for the import and export of agricultural products. Compliance with these standards is necessary to ensure that food and plants are safe for consumers and do not carry pests or diseases.
Recently, a need has arisen between the two countries to clarify certain technical details regarding shipments. The Russian side emphasizes that it is open to discussing all contentious points in order to avoid problems during the export and import of goods.
Armenia is an important trading partner for Russia, especially in the supply of fruits, vegetables, and other food products. Stable control rules help entrepreneurs in both countries plan their operations and avoid delays at the border.
It is expected that representatives of the relevant agencies of the two countries will hold working meetings in the near future. The goal of these negotiations is to create clear and transparent conditions for cooperation that will comply with international standards.
