Transport & Roads: Yerevan has started a 1.5 billion dram Noragavit interchange overhaul (overpass plus viaducts) to cut chronic southern-entrance jams, while Pashinyan ordered more alternative roads nationwide and approved 4.6 billion drams for major state road repairs. Regional Connectivity: Armenia reiterated EAEU cooperation while seeking removal of export barriers; Russia also signaled it expects continued constructive work. Metro Cooperation: Iran is ready to help Yerevan’s metro with tunnel construction know-how and rolling stock manufacturing. Sports Infrastructure: The government approved €52.21m (VAT excluded) for two UEFA-advised Youth World Cup stadium projects in Vanadzor and Ijevan.
