OTTAWA — The European Union says Prime Minister Mark Carney will be in Armenia this weekend as part of a summit focused on strategic issues.

Carney’s office has not publicly confirmed the visit, but European Council President Antonio Costa says on social media that the prime minister will be attending.

The European Political Community summit will take place in the Armenian capital, Yerevan, with a focus on strategic co-operation for the continent’s politics, security and infrastructure.

The twice-annual summits were launched after Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine in 2022 and include all EU members as well as others such as Iceland, Azerbaijan and Montenegro.
