The Summit is jointly chaired by European Council President Antonio Costa and Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, as confirmed by EU institutions. Previously, on Sunday, President Iotova and Mr. Pashinyan signed a Joint Declaration on Strategic Partnership between Bulgaria and Armenia.
Additionally, President Iotova visited the Peyo Yavorov Primary School in Yerevan. During bilateral discussions with her Armenian counterpart, Vahagn Khachaturyan, the Bulgarian president and the Armenian President discussed methods to enhance cooperation between the two nations. President Iotova emphasized the critical role of the European Political Community in advancing connectivity and strengthening relations across the continent, particularly concerning energy infrastructure like the gas corridor.
