The second round table discussion is part of the MLRI’s stakeholders’ engagement and policy-making process aimed at identifying, documenting and prioritizing the key issues of mining. The process will lead to the publication of a mining industry concept at the beginning of 2019, which is aimed at implementing legislative reforms in Armenia’s mining sector involving responsible environmental, economic, social and labor rights policy directions.
