COVID-19 Vaccine Distribution

Since March, 2022 the United States has shared 306,000 safe and effective COVID-19 vaccine doses with the people of Armenia – free of cost. This includes 306,000 Pfizer doses. Of the 306,000 vaccine doses, 100% were donated through bilateral agreements.

President Biden committed the United States to be the world’s arsenal for vaccines, leading an international and coordinated vaccination effort, and announced that the United States will provide 1.2 billion doses of safe, effective vaccines – free of cost – to meet global needs and save lives now. The United States is working with other governments, global initiatives including COVAX and the African Vaccine Acquisition Trust (AVAT), and other partners to get COVID-19 vaccines to where they are needed most.

U.S.-Armenia Relations

The United States established diplomatic relations with Armenia in 1992, following its independence from the Soviet Union. The United States is committed to helping Armenia strengthen democratic institutions and foster sustainable and inclusive economic growth. The United States strongly supports efforts to pursue a lasting and sustainable political solution to the Nagorno-Karabakh conflict through the OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chairs and promote regional stability, peace, and prosperity.

U.S. Assistance to Armenia

U.S. government assistance to Armenia supports efforts to strengthen Armenia’s ties to Western institutions, integrate the country into the regional and global economy, diversify trade, and build resilience against external pressures. U.S. assistance supports Armenian government efforts to develop democratic institutions and create an environment for sustainable economic development, particularly in light of the peaceful transition of power in 2018.

Bilateral Economic Relations

The United States and Armenia have a number of agreements affecting trade and investment, including a Trade and Investment Framework Agreement, an Agreement on Trade Relations, an Investment Incentive Agreement, a Bilateral Investment Treaty, and an Agreement on Science and Technology Cooperation. The two governments convene the U.S.-Armenia Strategic Dialogue to discuss mutual areas of cooperation.
