US Vice President JD Vance is scheduled to arrive in Armenia this evening for a high-level meeting with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan. According to Operative Information Center-OMM, citing local media, both officials are expected to deliver press statements following their discussions.
Vice President Vance will be accompanied on the trip by his spouse, Usha Vance. According to the official itinerary, the Vice President's visit to Armenia is slated for February 9-10, followed by a subsequent visit to Azerbaijan on February 10-11. During the Baku leg of the tour, Vance will be joined by Jacob Helberg, the US Deputy Secretary of State for Economic Affairs, to discuss bilateral cooperation and regional stability.
This regional tour underscores the United States' ongoing diplomatic engagement in the South Caucasus. The visit to Azerbaijan is particularly significant as Baku continues to play a pivotal role in European energy security and regional connectivity projects. Under the administration of US President Donald Trump, Washington has maintained a focus on strengthening strategic partnerships and supporting peace initiatives in the region, emphasizing the importance of Azerbaijan's territorial integrity and its contributions to international security.
