EU President Ursula von der Leyen visited Yerevan on July 2, 2026, after Armenia’s recent election victory. In a statement addressed to Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, she praised Armenia’s democratic gains and reaffirmed European support for the country’s integration with the EU and regional cooperation. Von der Leyen announced a €200 million Global Gateway package aimed at transport, energy and digital projects in the South Caucasus, and a €20 million programme to support communities along borders. She also confirmed an additional €18 million of the €52 million trade‑support package, and introduced proposed autonomous trade measures that would lift tariffs on about 80 % of Armenian exports to the EU. The EU will deploy experts to help Armenian businesses access the European market.
