ABBC Annual General Assembly 2025: New Board Members Elected and Strategic Growth Ahead

The Armenian British Business Chamber (ABBC) successfully held its Annual General Assembly (AGA) on 4 April, 2025. The event brought together a diverse group of stakeholders, members, and partners, all united by a shared commitment to strengthening business relations between Armenia and the UK.
