We are bringing Armenia closer to the EU, while working on a peaceful and prosperous South Caucasus von der Leyen

Ursula von der Leyen, President of the EU Commission, referred to her meeting with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan.

“Dear Nikol Pashinyan, it is good to see you as always. We are bringing Armenia closer to the EU, while working on a peaceful and prosperous South Caucasus. We are building roads and bridges with our €200 million connectivity package. And bridges between people, with our peace-fostering investments.

Our Autonomous Trade Measures will open new opportunities. With 80% of Armenia’s exports to the EU market now tariff free. We expect the final adoption of these measures by EU legislators tomorrow - in record time! And finally we are strengthening energy security. So: the EU-Armenia partnership is moving fast, forward and stronger than ever”.
