European Commissioner for Enlargement Marta Kos emphasized her determination to maintain the momentum of the enlargement process, highlighting the importance of diversifying trade and energy routes following her tour of the South Caucasus.

Sharing her vision of cooperation with the Irish government, Kos said, "I am pleased to be in Ireland as its Council Presidency begins. We look forward to maintaining a strong pace of progress on enlargement with the Irish Presidency and supporting the accession paths of our candidate countries."

Referring to the economic and diplomatic outcomes of her recent regional visit, Commissioner Marta Kos stated, "I have just returned from Türkiye, Azerbaijan and Armenia, where we took our connectivity efforts to the next level. This can help diversify trade and energy routes between Europe and Asia while securing lasting peace in the South Caucasus."

Noting that strategic infrastructure projects complement the EU's growth objectives, Kos concluded: "Enlargement and connectivity go hand in hand. Both contribute to Europe's stability, prosperity and security."
