\n\tYerevan\/Armenia: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney arrived in Armenia on Friday, marking the first official visit by a Canadian PM to Armenia in nearly a decade since Justin Trudeau’s 2018 trip.<\/p>\n


\n\tCarney met Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan to thank him for hosting the 8th European Political Community (EPC) Summit and discuss strengthening Canada-Armenia ties.<\/p>\n


\n\tThe leaders discussed opportunities to deepen cooperation and reaffirmed bilateral relations, which have expanded in recent years, including the opening of Canada\u2019s embassy in Yerevan in 2023.<\/p>\n


\n\tOn the sidelines of the summit, Carney is expected to meet other heavyweight European leaders to discuss security cooperation, support for Ukraine and economic engagement, particularly in sectors such as critical minerals, energy and advanced technologies.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n


\n\t\tCarney also met Roberta Metsola, the president of the European Parliament. In a post on X, Metsola described the talks as \u201ca very good discussion\u201d on shared priorities, particularly in defence, trade and artificial intelligence, adding that both sides would continue to build on the engagement.<\/p>\n
