WASHINGTON, DC — The United States, Armenia, and Azerbaijan have announced the establishment of trilateral technical planning groups to advance the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP) project.

The announcement was made in a joint statement issued by U.S. Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Brendan Hanrahan, Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Vahan Kostanyan, and Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Elnur Mammadov.

According to the statement, the new framework will bring together policymakers and technical experts from all three countries to promote long-term regional stability, economic development, connectivity, and trade.

The officials reaffirmed the significance of the landmark declaration adopted at the August 8, 2025, Peace Summit, mediated by U.S. President Donald Trump.

The three countries agreed to initially establish technical planning groups focused on transportation and electricity transmission, with the shared objective of translating their commitments into tangible progress.

The statement described the formation of these groups as an important step toward resolving complex technical challenges and advancing to the next stages of implementation, including connections with other regional infrastructure networks.

The three governments also reaffirmed their commitment to bringing all components of the TRIPP initiative into operation as quickly as possible.

The trilateral mechanism is intended to facilitate practical coordination among Washington, Yerevan, and Baku as they work toward implementing the regional connectivity initiative.
