U.S. Vice President JD Vance will visit Azerbaijan and Armenia next month to strengthen diplomatic relations following a U.S.-brokered peace agreement that ended nearly four decades of conflict over Nagorno-Karabakh.

The visit, confirmed by President Donald Trump, aims to promote prosperity and fortify strategic partnerships, including a Peaceful Nuclear Cooperation deal with Armenia and defense equipment sales to Azerbaijan. Both nations have committed to international law and non-aggression.

Armenia plans to integrate its energy systems with Azerbaijan as part of a U.S.-backed initiative, enhancing economic cooperation. Vance's trip is expected to reinforce U.S. influence and support regional development, highlighting upcoming trade deals in technology and defense.
