The President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev met with the Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan on the sidelines of the ninth summit of the European political community, which took place on November 12 in the capital of Ireland, Dublin.
The leaders exchanged views on advancing the peace agenda between Azerbaijan and Armenia, guided by the results of the peace summit in Washington on August 8, 2025 and the joint Washington statement signed at the same time.
The discussions focused on practical steps to strengthen peace between the two countries, including the development of transportation and transit communications, economic and trade relations, border demarcation and the implementation of confidence-building measures.
In the same context, the leaders discussed the development progress of the Trump Pathway for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP), including planning and design of rail and road sections, as well as prospects for developing transit links along the route.

The parties also exchanged views on the possibilities for further development of economic and commercial relations between Azerbaijan and Armenia, including the upcoming unification of the electricity grids of the two countries.
The leaders emphasized the importance of cooperation in the field of environmental protection and transboundary water resources and welcomed the establishment of working groups on the management of transboundary rivers.
The leaders reaffirmed the importance of maintaining positive momentum in the peace process and continuing dialogue aimed at strengthening peace, stability and prosperity in the region.
