"I presented Armenia's candidacy and expressed the country's readiness to host COP-34 in 2029. I recalled the results of COP-17, held in Yerevan, as well as the experience and successes achieved in organizing that conference and conducting multilateral negotiations. I emphasized that our initiative to host COP-34 is also an opportunity to contribute to global action to combat climate change. In this context, I emphasized the importance of fulfilling commitments related to climate change mitigation, adaptation, and climate finance, particularly noting the vulnerability of mountain countries and their adaptation needs.
