The visit aims to strengthen bilateral relations and discuss pressing regional issues, including the war in Ukraine and the peace process between Armenia and Azerbaijan.

On the first day, Duda will meet with representatives of the Polish community in Armenia. The second day will feature official political talks, beginning with a visit to the Armenian Genocide Memorial Complex in Yerevan. Following the memorial visit, Duda will hold a one-on-one meeting with Armenian President Vahagn Khachaturyan. He is also scheduled to meet with Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan and Speaker of the National Assembly Alen Simonyan.

Key topics on the agenda include enhancing economic cooperation and trade between Poland and Armenia, as well as discussing Armenia's relationship with the European Union. Duda is expected to visit the Armenia Securities Exchange, in which Poland holds a majority stake.

On the final day of his visit, Duda will tour the headquarters of the European Union's civilian mission in Armenia. Established under the EU's Common Security and Defence Policy, the mission currently includes nine Polish personnel and focuses on promoting stability in the region.
