EU Commissioner Marta Kos to visit Armenia in March

The dates for the upcoming visit of the European Union (EU) Commissioner for Enlargement, Marta Kos, to Armenia have been announced.

Operative Information Center-OMM reports, citing Armenpress, that the EU Delegation to Armenia confirmed the visit is scheduled for March 19-20.

The official statement noted that relations between the European Union and Armenia continue to deepen, entering a decisive phase of partnership. "The visit of EU Commissioner Marta Kos, planned for March 19-20, and the preceding working visit of senior European Commission officials to Yerevan, aim to assess progress in implementing the EU-Armenia strategic partnership agenda. This reaffirms a strong and mutual commitment to developing bilateral cooperation on key strategic priorities," the statement said.

It was further highlighted that this strategic agenda is based on the EU-Armenia Comprehensive and Enhanced Partnership Agreement (CEPA), which forms the foundation of long-term cooperation. Discussions during the upcoming high-level meetings are expected to focus on regional connectivity in the fields of transport, energy, and digital communications.

The CEPA agreement, which fully entered into force in 2021, serves as a framework for the EU and Armenia to work together in areas such as strengthening democracy, the rule of law, and creating more economic opportunities. This visit comes at a time when the EU is increasingly looking to expand its influence and monitoring capabilities in the South Caucasus region, a move that is closely monitored by regional stakeholders including Azerbaijan.
