At the meeting of the leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia in Brussels, it was agreed to convene a Joint Border Commission by the end of April and instruct the foreign ministers to work on the preparation of a future peace agreement. The statement came from EU Council President Charles Michel after a meeting.

President Michel said that both President Aliyev and Prime Minister Pashinyan expressed their desire to make rapid progress towards a peace agreement between the two countries. "It was agreed they would instruct the foreign ministers to work on a peace agreement that will cover all necessary issues."

He also noted that the delimitation and demarcation of bilateral borders will be important. "For this purpose, it was agreed to convene a Joint Border Commission by the end of April in accordance with the Sochi Declaration of November 26, 2021.”

The statement also said that the Azerbaijani and Armenian leaders reviewed the events that took place after their last meeting in Brussels in December 2021 and a video conference with French President Emmanuel Macron in February 2022 and reviewed the implementation of commitments. They reiterated the need for full compliance with the provisions of the tripartite statement of 10 November 2020 and discussed the recent tensions. They welcomed the EU-mediated meeting of high-level representatives of Armenia and Azerbaijan in Brussels on March 30, 2022 and agreed on the need to continue this relationship to ensure the adequate continuation of the agreements reached at the leadership level.

The leaders of Azerbaijan and Armenia also discussed the restoration of communication infrastructure between Armenia and Azerbaijan, especially in the South Caucasus.

The meeting, which started at 7 p.m. Brussel time, lasted at least four hours.
