A year after the White House Peace Summit, Azerbaijan, Armenia and the United States declared that their blueprint for the South Caucasus has become reality, citing 60,000 tons of freight moved and the formal end of the OSCE Minsk Group. The joint anniversary statement emphasized infrastructure, energy and telecommunications links that have begun transforming the region.
Infrastructure and Trade Results
In the twelve months since the summit, over 60,000 tons of cargo and 20,000 tons of petroleum products have been shipped across the region. Engineering work under the TRIPP project has advanced, while new financing has been directed toward the Middle Corridor. Azerbaijan, Armenia and the U.S. also highlighted agreements between telecom operators that deepen regional connectivity.
End of Conflict Institutions
The joint statement announced the dissolution of the OSCE Minsk Group and its related structure at the joint request of Armenia and Azerbaijan. This move formally closes the institutional framework linked to the unresolved conflict that lasted decades. It underscores the shift toward a post-conflict normalization process, with both governments undertaking confidence-building measures and supporting civil society exchanges.
