“East 2025” is a long-term strategy adopted by the European Union (EU) to strengthen its eastern partnerships and promote cooperation in various sectors. It was launched in 2009 and focuses on six countries: Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine. The strategy aims to deepen political and economic ties, enhance energy security, and promote democratic reforms.
The “East 2025” strategy has gained importance in recent years due to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and the EU’s desire to reduce its dependence on Russian energy. The strategy provides a framework for the EU to engage with its eastern partners and support their efforts towards stability, prosperity, and democratic development.
