Armenia envoy to lead UN pandemic talks

Armenia’s Permanent Representative to the United Nations, Paruyr Hovhannisyan, has been appointed by the President of the UN General Assembly to coordinate the intergovernmental negotiations on a political declaration on pandemic prevention, preparedness, and response.
