From January 15-17, Lieutenant General Edvard Asryan, Chief of the General Staff of the Armenian Armed Forces and First Deputy Minister of Defense, led a delegation to Brussels to participate in the NATO Military Committee meeting. This high-profile gathering brought together defense chiefs from NATO member and partner nations to address pressing global and regional security challenges.
The meeting’s agenda focused on key issues, including the impact of climate change on security, global instability, disruptive technologies, and the resilience of critical infrastructure in the face of hybrid and cyber threats. These discussions highlighted the growing complexity of modern security challenges and the necessity for collaborative solutions.
Armenia, as a NATO partner, remains actively involved in joint initiatives with the Alliance. Multilateral meetings like this are vital for Armenia, offering a platform to engage with global security issues while voicing its regional concerns. This participation is also seen as an opportunity to strengthen Armenia’s defense capabilities and benefit from NATO’s expertise in countering hybrid and cyber threats.
By engaging in such forums, Armenia underscores its commitment to international security cooperation. Participation in NATO-led discussions not only enhances Armenia’s ability to address global security threats but also provides valuable insights for tackling regional challenges in the South Caucasus.
