India will continue implementing projects in Armenia, particularly in the fields of science, health, and education. Indian Ambassador to Armenia Suresh Babu told ArmInfo at the official reception timed to the 66th Republic Day in January 26.
In the first quarter of the current year, the ambassador said, India will send specialists to Armenia to complete the project of the telemedicine equipment installation at 11 regional hospitals of the country that will be connected to the central clinic in Yerevan online.
