U.S. Vice President J.D. Vance met with Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan in Yerevan on Monday to sign a landmark civil nuclear energy agreement and announce a significant expansion of bilateral security and economic ties. This historic visit marks the first time a sitting U.S. president or vice president has traveled to Armenia, reflecting a strategic shift in American foreign policy toward the South Caucasus. The diplomatic mission was designed to decouple the former Soviet republic from its traditional reliance on Russian influence by offering Western alternatives in energy and defense. During the high-level summit, the two leaders formalized a framework to accelerate negotiations on a civil nuclear deal, which could see the implementation of American nuclear technology to bolster Armenia's energy independence. Furthermore, Vice President Vance confirmed that the United States is prepared to facilitate the export of advanced computer chips and sophisticated surveillance drones to the Armenian military. This move signals a profound change in the regional security apparatus, as Armenia seeks to modernize its defense capabilities following years of territorial instability and shifting alliances. Beyond energy and defense, the delegation pledged substantial American investment in Armenia’s national infrastructure, including transport and digital networks. Vance emphasized that these commitments are part of a broader "partnership for prosperity" intended to integrate Armenia more closely with Western markets and democratic institutions. The visit concluded with both leaders expressing optimism that this new chapter of cooperation would foster long-term stability in a region frequently caught between the interests of major global powers.
