Announcement: Yerevan Dialogue 2026

We are delighted to announce the 3rd edition of the Yerevan Dialogue, hosted by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Armenia!

🗓️ 5-6 May 2026 | 📍Yerevan

Under the theme ‘Riding Through the Storms’, this year’s Dialogue will convene leaders, politicians and experts to reflect on a rapidly evolving 🌏 global landscape: the discussions will focus on how shifting power dynamics are reshaping international relations, testing existing security frameworks while also opening new avenues for dialogue and cooperation.

Against a backdrop of economic volatility and increasing competition, participants will consider how stronger regional linkages, improved connectivity, and trade can 📉contribute to stability and shared prosperity. In parallel, discussions will address the growing challenge of hybrid threats, noting that despite mounting pressures, democratic systems are forging partnerships for stronger resilience. The program will also explore the urgent need for sustainable approaches that respect and protect the natural environment, in line with global climate priorities, including those to be advanced at 🌱COP17.

💬🇦🇲 Foreign Minister Ararat Mirzoyan: “In an era marked by geopolitical storms, dialogue and cooperation are essential to shaping sustainable solutions. While new challenges continue to emerge, they also open space for renewed shared commitment to peace, innovation and partnerships. We look forward to fostering fruitful discussions at #YerevanDialogue.”

The Panel discussions will be featuring the following topics:

  • Beyond Geopolitical Divides
