EU Reports Steady Progress on Armenia Visa Deal

EU Commissioner notes steady progress toward visa liberalization with Armenia, building on the action plan handed over in November 2025 that outlines 74 benchmarks in areas like document security, border management, and anti-corruption. Armenia advances reforms, including rollout of biometric passports expected in 2026, amid deepening EU ties marked by a new strategic agenda. Officials aim to submit a progress report this year, with seven benchmarks already completed.
