I had a productive meeting with DAS Sonata Coulter and the delegation from @StateDept to discuss strengthening Armenia–U.S. cooperation and expanding opportunities for strategic partnership. Appreciated the thoughtful exchange and look forward to continued collaboration. 🇦🇲🇺🇸

The 🇪🇺🇦🇲 Connectivity Partnership.

From transport to energy and digital networks, it can turn Armenia into a strategic hub at the crossroads of continents.

Linking the EU, the South Caucasus & Central Asia.

At the summit of the European Political Community in Yerevan: making the case for Moldova’s place in Europe, strengthening security cooperation, and joining forces to tackle drug trafficking across Europe.

Grateful to @NikolPashinyan for bringing us together.

This morning, alongside Armenia’s Deputy Foreign Minister, @VahanKostanyan, I visited the Armenian Genocide Memorial in Yerevan, Armenia. A moment to pay tribute, honour and remember.

Arrived in Yerevan with President @NicusorDanRO for the European Political Community summit hosted by Prime Minister @NikolPashinyan. Grateful for the warm welcome.

After years of semi-isolation, Armenia is now the most dynamic and most democratic of the South Caucasus republics.

But Yerevan still needs slow and steady support from Brussels: Patience will be crucial, argues @Tom_deWaal.

Exactly 22 years ago Lithuania together with all our Baltic&Central European neighbours has joined the EU 🇱🇹❤️🇪🇺. Symbolically this week I was in Denmark who has opened the EU doors to Lithuana with leaders of different captive nations still fighting for the right to be free ✊️

The full force of Russian FIMI is now being deployed against Armenia ahead of its parliamentary elections, largely recycling the same narratives used in Moldova, with attacks on Armenian PM Nikol Pashinyan almost perfectly mirroring those previously directed at Maia Sandu.

[Rasa Juknevičienė @RJukneviciene]

Armenia’s upcoming elections will be a referendum on the country’s future. As in Moldova, the Kremlin is deploying every tool to regain influence.

Armenians are reaching out to Europe. We should do the same.

More democracies in Europe, more peace.

My speech at @Europarl_EN:

[AudraPlepyte @AudraPlepyte]

Great discussion w/ @Kasparov63 on preconditions for lasting stability in Europe, esp. need to slowdown & stop Russia’s war machinery, strengthen Ukraine, NATO etc.

Grateful for his strong, clear & active stance. We stand firm together for our shared goals
@LithuaniaConNY

[Maia Sandu @sandumaiamd]

Thank you President @ZelenskyyUa for receiving me in Kyiv — a city that has shown the world what it means to refuse to be broken.

To the people of Ukraine: we see you, we stand with you, and we are grateful. In defending itself, Ukraine has also been defending Moldova.
