Azerbaijani President Ilham Aliyev held a meeting with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan on the sidelines of the 9th European Political Community Summit, held in Dublin, the capital of Ireland.

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

The meeting addressed practical steps to consolidate peace, including developing transport and transit connections, economic and trade relations, border delimitation and the implementation of confidence-building measures.

Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP) on the agenda

In this context, the leaders discussed progress in developing the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP), including the planning and design of railway and road components and potential transit connections along the TRIPP route.
