The EU and Armenia held their first-ever bilateral summit, agreeing to foster closer economic ties as the former Soviet nation makes a cautious pivot towards the west.  The two sides signed a new connectivity partnership focused on transport, energy and digital links.  Armenia however is deeply reliant on Russian energy and remains a member of the Moscow-led Eurasian Economic Union.
