European Leaders Issue Statement in Dublin on November 12 Backing Armenia's Sovereignty and Economic Diversification
On November 12, 2026, leaders and representatives of Estonia, France, Latvia, Lithuania and the United Kingdom, together with the EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy, met Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on the margins of the European Political Community summit in Dublin, Ireland, and issued a statement joined by Germany, the Netherlands, Norway, Poland, the President of the European Council and the President of the European Commission.
The statement reiterated support for the sovereignty, territorial integrity, stability, independence and resilience of the Republic of Armenia, and said the signatories will continue to support Armenia in diversifying its economic partnerships, particularly in trade and energy, building on the EU decision to suspend duties on 80 percent of Armenian exports to the EU.
The ninth meeting of the European Political Community was held in Dublin the same day, hosted by Irish Taoiseach Micheál Martin and co-chaired by European Council President António Costa, with Ukraine's security and a just and lasting peace at the centre of discussions. (Source: European Council)
