US Customs and Border Protection Team arrives in Armenia, says embassy

The U.S. Embassy in Armenia has welcomed its partners from the U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) service.

“From Sept․ 29 to Oct․ 11, the U.S. CBP team will work with Armenia’s border security forces to assess capabilities and identify areas for improvement through the ‘Gaps/Opportunities Analysis Process.’ This analytical methodology, successfully applied elsewhere, will help strengthen border security by pinpointing areas requiring strategic investment.

We are proud to support this initial step toward implementing our partnership in the development of the ‘Crossroads of Peace’ capabilities, as outlined in the memorandum signed between President Trump and Prime Minister Pashinyan on Aug․ 8 at the White House,” the embassy said in a statement.
