Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan and visiting U.S. Deputy Secretary of State for Management and Resources Richard Verma today met in Yerevan and discussed the Armenia-Azerbaijan peace process, the border demarcation process between Armenia and Azerbaijan, the "Crossroads of Peace" project, and the implementation of the recently approved government-approved housing program for people forcibly displaced from Nagorno Karabakh.

Verma travelled to Armenia to attend last week’s Armenian-U.S. Local Government Forum on Democracy.

Verma emphasized the readiness of the U.S. to strengthen cooperation with Armenia in various directions, including between local bodies and communities, as well as in the economy, education and other fields.
