In Rome, I discussed my upcoming visit to Armenia with President Vahagn Khachaturyan. Kaja Kallas, head of EU diplomacy, wrote on social network X.

"I reaffirmed the EU’s strong commitment to deepening ties and exchanged views on the situation in South Caucasus, including efforts towards Armenia-Azerbaijan normalization, and peace in the region," she wrote.

Vahagn Khachaturyan and Kaja Kallas were among the world leaders attending the Pope's funeral today.
