Armenia is to receive assistance from the United States, China and the European Union to prevent the spread of the new type of “Corona” virus, Deputy Foreign Minister Avet Adonts said at a press conference.
“The United States will provide Armenia with $1.1 million in assistance. The EU will provide 140 million euros to its six eastern partners, which will be distributed among the countries. Of that 140 million, 30 million will be directed through the WHO (World Health Organization) to acquiring appropriate medical equipment, 100 million will go to supporting SMEs (small and medium-sized enterprises), and 10 million to NGOs (non-governmental organizations) for the fight against COVID-19. A few days ago, Zohrab Mnatsakanyan received a letter from his Chinese counterpart, in which the Chinese government expressed its readiness to provide support to Armenia within the limits of its means and capabilities,” Adonts stated.
