President of the Republic of Armenia Vahagn Khachaturyan addressed the Third United Nations Conference on Landlocked Developing Countries (LLDC 3). This was reported by the IIC of Turkmenistan.

Vahagn Khachaturyan emphasised that landlocked countries face serious barriers, ranging from high logistics costs to limited access to global markets. The President of Armenia called for coordinated efforts to overcome these challenges and achieve sustainable development goals.

Separately, Vahagn Khachaturyan noted the need to remove political obstacles to the free movement of goods and people and stressed the importance of regional cooperation. The President of Armenia also called on the international community to include such countries in the processes of digitalisation and the ‘green’ transition.

Vahagn Khachaturyan said that the Armenian government had launched an initiative aimed at strengthening peace and expanding transport and economic ties. According to the President of Armenia, only joint action will help improve the lives of more than 570 million people living in 32 landlocked countries.
