From 19 to 30 October 2026, the Republic of Armenia will host the seventeenth meeting of the Conference of the Parties to the United Nations Convention on Biological Diversity (CBD COP17) in Yerevan. The conference will bring together government representatives from around the world, international organisations, civil society, Indigenous Peoples, young people, the scientific community and the private sector.

Upcoming event: A working conversation in Parliament with prominent voices in the British-Armenian business community on what the UK needs to build over the next decade, and how to turn existing capability into a national growth strategy.

We were delighted to welcome Conservative MPs, prominent Armenian community figures, a leading strategic communications advisor, and a Senior Political Correspondent from the Daily Telegraph.

The CFOA hosted a number of MPs at a community event honouring Baroness Cox who received a lifetime achievement award for her contribution to Armenian causes.

The Conservative Friends of Armenia was officially launched in the Jubilee Room in parliament on the 26th of January. The event received support from several MPs, including shadow ministers, some of whom with no previous ties to Armenia.
