Armenia's Ambassador to China, Vahe Gevorgyan, isn't just watching history unfold—he's helping write it. Ahead of China's pivotal Two Sessions meetings, Gevorgyan shared an optimistic vision with CGTN's Cui Yingjie, revealing how bilateral trade skyrocketed to $2.8 billion in 2024 (a 34.4% jump! 💹) and cementing China as Armenia's third-largest trading partner.
🛫 With new direct flights bridging the 5,000-kilometer gap, cultural and economic exchanges are taking off faster than a TikTok trend. Gevorgyan spotlighted China's 'new quality productive forces'—think green tech and AI—as game-changers inspiring Armenia's own revival strategy. 'China’s transformation over the past 20 years is like watching a startup scale to unicorn status,' he quipped.
Could this Silk Road 2.0 partnership reshape global governance? Gevorgyan hinted at possibilities, emphasizing collaborative innovation and mutual growth. As young professionals and entrepreneurs eye Asia's rising synergies, Armenia's story proves that even smaller economies can swing big with the right allies. 🤝
