The Regional Director of the Francophone University Agency for Central and Eastern Europe Laure Kasten visited National University of Architecture and Construction of Armenia accompanied by the Head of the AUF National Office in Armenia Christine Ghaltakhchyan.

The meeting launched with the welcome speech delivered by the Acting Rector of the University Manuk Barseghyan. Congratulating Mrs. Laure Kasten on her appointment as the Regional Director of the Francophone University Agency (AUF) for Central and Eastern Europe, Mr. Barseghyan also warmly welcomed her on her first visit to the University. “Since 2011, NUACA has been an associate member of the Francophone University Agency and in 2014 the Center for Academic Achievement was established at the University. The membership of AUF contributed to increasing the efficiency of the long-term cooperation of NUACA with the universities and organizations of Francophone countries. I am also proud to note that since 1994, the diploma awarded to the graduates of NUACA Faculty of Architecture is officially recognized by the French government. I am confident that our multifaceted cooperation creates a favourable environment for the spread of French.

Concluding my welcome speech, I would like to extend my gratitude to you once again for your visit and wish you ongoing success in your important mission.”

Laure Kasten also delivered a welcome speech. Mrs. Kasten noted: “I am very glad for being here today and getting to know the Armenian civilization. I extend my gratitude to the Management of the University, as I know that the University has always been proactive and consistent in the implementation of all programmes and events. New programmes will be launched soon and we are ready and open to initiate and discuss all activities.”
