В Ереване завершился саммит «Франкофония»

Встреча на высшем уровне глав государств и правительств «Франкофонии» в столице Армении Ереване завершилась в пятницу принятием Ереванской декларации и избранием нового Генерального секретаря организации. На эту должность был избран министр иностранных дел Руанды Луи Мушикивабо.

Саммит собрал беспрецедентное число глав государств и правительств в столице Армении и стал серьезным логистическим вызовом для правительства Армении. Премьер-министр Никол Пашинян поблагодарил организаторов 17-го саммита франкоязычных стран в Ереване за его высокий уровень проведения. Как сообщает Арменпресс, по словам Пашиняна, результаты саммита для Армении позитивные. "Мы можем сказать, что событие, которое стало самым крупным в нашей стране после обретения независимости, несомненно, повысило международную репутацию нашей страны", - сказал он, подчеркнув, что его проведение в Армении также было позитивным для репутации франкофонии.

Премьер-министр Пашинян высоко оценил роль бывшего министра иностранных дел Армении Эдварда Налбандяна в организации саммита в Армении. "Полиция, Служба национальной безопасности, вся государственная администрация и добровольцы проделали большую работу во время организации саммита", - сказал он.

Dozens participate in new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue process as societies prepare for the signing of historic peace agreement

The governments of Armenia and Azerbaijan have recently agreed the text of a historic peace agreement that ends years of animosity and warfare. The agreement is expected to be signed soon. LINKS Europe, which has a long history of engagement with the process of peace in the region, recently launched a new Armenia-Azerbaijan dialogue format in the framework of the European Union's EU4Peace initiative. In the last two weeks dozens of Armenians and Azerbaijanis, including academics, students, civil society activists, journalists and other professionals, many of them young, were involved. The work is organised in five thematic groups focusing on peace and security, connectivity, environment, governance and gender and equality and in phase 2 of the project, which has just ended, around fifty participants took part in in-person and online meetings, and more than twenty others were involved indirectly.

The five thematic groups are now working on separate reports, which are expected to be finished in November and presented to the two governments and other stakeholders. The reports will outline a vision, up to 2040.
