Armenia Hosts Historic EPC Summit

Armenia’s capital, Yerevan, is currently hosting the 8th European Political Community (EPC) Summit, gathering top leaders to tackle regional stability, energy security, and ongoing global crises. In a notable first for the forum, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney has joined the talks, marking the EPC’s first-ever invitation to a leader from outside the European continent. Co-chaired by European Council President Antonio Costa and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, the summit focuses heavily on strengthening democratic resilience and expanding international connectivity. Key figures, including top EU leadership and regional representatives like Turkish Vice President Cevdet Yılmaz, are also addressing pressing geopolitical conflicts in Ukraine and the Middle East. The high-level meetings are expected to culminate in a joint declaration outlining a unified strategy for Europe’s future.
