The governments of Azerbaijan, Armenia and the United States have launched trilateral technical planning groups to speed up implementation of the Trump Route for International Peace and Prosperity (TRIPP). AZERTAC, citing the US State Department, reports that the three governments announced this in a joint statement issued on November 6.

According to the statement, US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs Brendan Hanrahan, Armenian Deputy Foreign Minister Vahan Kostanyan and Azerbaijani Deputy Foreign Minister Elnur Mammadov launched the groups' work to advance the project. The statement said the forum brings together political decision-makers and technical experts from the three countries, creating conditions for joint work on long-term regional stability, economic activity and trade prosperity. It also underlined the importance of the Peace Summit Declaration adopted on August 8, 2025, under the mediation of President Donald Trump.

In the initial phase, the parties agreed to create two technical planning groups covering transport and electricity transmission. The groups will address complex technical issues, move the project to its next stages and coordinate the route with other regional infrastructure networks. The parties reaffirmed their commitment to implementing all components of the TRIPP project as soon as possible.
