President of the Republic of Azerbaijan Ilham Aliyev met with
Prime Minister of the Republic of Armenia Nikol Pashinyan on the
margins of the 9th European Political Community Summit in Dublin,
Ireland on November 12, 2026.

The leaders exchanged views on advancing the peace agenda
between Azerbaijan and Armenia, building on the outcomes of the
Washington Peace Summit of August 8, 2025, and the Washington Joint
Declaration signed on that occasion.

The discussions focused on practical steps towards further
consolidating peace between the two countries, including the
development of transport and transit connectivity, economic and
trade relations, border delimitation, and the implementation of
confidence-building measures.

In this context, the leaders discussed progress in the
development of the Trump Route for International Peace and
Prosperity (TRIPP), including the planning and design of its
railway and highway components, as well as prospects for transit
connectivity along the TRIPP route.

The transit of goods to and from Armenia through the territory
of Azerbaijan was noted as a positive development. Since November
of last year, a total of 105,000 tonnes of cargo have been
transported to Armenia through the territory of Azerbaijan.

The sides also exchanged views on opportunities for further
developing economic and trade relations between Azerbaijan and
Armenia, including the forthcoming interconnection of electricity
grids.

The leaders emphasized the importance of environmental and
transboundary water cooperation 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.
