The Ministry of Foreign Affairs has had a long-standing cooperative
relationship with the Tufts University Fletcher School, in Massachusetts.
On May 29, Fletcher Dean Stephen Bosworth visited the Ministry, accompanied
by Professor Alan Henrikson, and businessman-philanthropist Aso Tavitian
who has sponsored various educational programs associated with Fletcher.
During the meeting, the guests spoke with satisfaction about the
cooperation established years ago between the Ministry of Foreign
Affairs of the Republic of Armenia and the Fletcher School of Law
and Diplomacy. They also discussed future programs.
The Minister noted that more than 60 diplomats and civil servants
have been trained at Fletcher, and said this is invaluable for building
capacity within the government.
Following the meeting, Dean Bosworth and Professor Henrikson addressed
Ministry staff in the MFA Tavitian Library. Professor Joyce Barsam,
a member of the Tufts Board of Trustees and a member of the Tavitian
Foundation, accompanied the guests.
