On the sidelines of the International Forum on Nature and Environmental Protection in the Republic of Altai, Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan met with Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin.
Following the meeting, Russian Deputy Prime Minister Alexey Overchuk told reporters that the decline in trade turnover between Armenia and Russia was a key topic of discussion, according to RIA Novosti.

According to a statement from the Armenian side, the talks also covered the current status of Armenia–Russia relations, bilateral cooperation, collaboration within the Eurasian Economic Union (EAEU), and other mutually important issues. Pashinyan is in Russia for a two-day visit.
