Armenia is actively seeking to diversify its foreign policy and secure its economic future amid regional instability. Discussions with France and the EU signal potential for new infrastructure investment and expanded trade opportunities. Meanwhile, regional tensions involving Iran and the United States are noted to be causing insecurity for commercial shipping in the Strait of Hormuz.

Armenia is facing threats to its existing supply agreements as it weighs closer ties with the EU and deals with the conflict fallout and displacement in Nagorno-Karabakh.
