The delegation headed by Frank Boland, Director of Force Planning at the NATO Defense Policy and Planning Division of the NATO International Staff, is paying a three day visit to Armenia to coordinate the new package of objectives of Armenia-NATO cooperation within the framework of the Planning and Review Process (PARP) of the Individual Partnership Action Plan.
On March 12 the delegation had a meeting with Armenia’s First Deputy Defense Minister David Tonoyan. The latter noted that the discussions will provide an opportunity to discuss the commitments of Armenia and NATO to implement defense reforms and outline the perspectives of continuation of joint international peacekeeping mission and capacity development.
Stressing the importance of Armenia-NATO cooperation within the framework of IPAP and PARP, Frank Boland noted that the implementation of commitments contributes to the reinforcement of bilateral cooperation and enhances the development of separate components of the sphere of defense.
