During the meeting, they exchanged views on the agenda of Armenian-American relations, specifically implementation of the Compact the Millenium Challenge Corporation signed with Armenia, creating an office in Yerevan to this end, developing free economic system and democracy in Armenia, as well as a number of international and regional issues of mutual interest.

The Minister stated once again Armenia's appreciation of the depth and scope of US assistance to Armenia, since Armenia's independence. He affirmed that Armenia is aware that this new assistance program, focused on both economic and democratic processes, provides Armenia with a special opportunity to benefit from both the substance of the assistance, as well as its intent. Congressman Kolbe stated that the US believes that sustained and transformational economic development can only take place in an open society, free of corruption, where there is transparency, protection of property rights and other things necessary to make society work. Both sides stressed the importance for transparency of the implementation process within the MCC framework.

The Minister and the congressmen also discussed regional issues, including Armenia's relations with Iran and with Turkey.
