For the first time, Armenia took part in the meeting to prepare the summit on the Ukrainian "peace formula," which is being held in Malta.
The Armenian service of "Radio Liberty" writes about it.
It is essential to mention that Kyiv initiated the two-day conference. According to the head of the President's Office, Andrii Yermak, Ukraine anticipates achieving concrete outcomes from it.
Secretary of the Security Council Armen Hryhoryan traveled from Armenia to the meeting held at the level of foreign policy advisers and national security advisers.
Earlier, Yermak noted that plans for the implementation of 5 points of the Ukrainian peace formula will be presented and discussed at the third summit:
- nuclear, energy, food security,
- humanitarian direction (release of prisoners and deported persons),
- restoration of the territorial integrity of Ukraine and the world order.
It should be noted that in September of this year, Armenia handed over humanitarian aid to Ukraine for the first time – it was brought by the wife of the Prime Minister of Armenia, Nikola Pashinyan, during her visit.
Subsequently, at the beginning of October, Pashinyan and the President of Ukraine, Volodymyr Zelensky, met for the first time on the sidelines of the summit of the European Political Community in Granada.
For reference:
The meeting on the Ukrainian peace formula will take place on October 28-29 in Malta. The main goal for Ukraine, according to the head of the President's Office, is to secure "the widest possible international support" for President Volodymyr Zelensky's peace plan.
This time, China is not participating in the peace summit. According to the media, the absence of Beijing disappointed the Ukrainian leadership.
The first summit of the Peace Formula was held on June 26 in Copenhagen (Denmark) and the second on August 6 in Jeddah (Saudi Arabia).
Then, Ukraine managed to attract not only direct partners and allies but also representatives of the Global South, who took a neutral position regarding the war.
As reported, in November 2022, President Volodymyr Zelensky presented the Ukrainian 10-point Peace Formula during a speech to the participants of the Group of Twenty summit, and preparations for the Global Peace Summit are currently underway.
