The U.S. Department of State on November 6 released a joint statement by the governments of the United States, Armenia and Azerbaijan announcing the launch of Trilateral Technical Planning Groups to advance the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP), inaugurating the first two groups, focused on transportation and electricity transmission.
U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Brendan Hanrahan, Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Vahan Kostanyan and Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Elnur Mammadov launched the groups, the statement said. The forum brings together policymakers and technical experts from the three countries to work collaboratively on the multimodal transit route and to contribute to long-term stability, economic vitality, regional connectivity and commercial prosperity across the region, underscoring the landmark August 8, 2025, Peace Summit Declaration brokered by President Trump.
The parties said the two planning groups are a crucial step toward resolving complex technical issues and moving to the next phases of implementation, including connection with other regional infrastructures, and reaffirmed their commitments to the expeditious operationalization of all modalities of TRIPP.
