Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option D: Canada. Canada has become the first non-European country to participate in a European Political Community (EPC) summit. Mark Carney has attended the 8th EPC Summit in Yerevan on 4 May 2026. The European Political Community has been established in 2022 after Russia’s invasion of Ukraine. EPC functions as a political dialogue forum and not as a European Union membership body. The EPC includes EU members and non-EU European countries such as the UK, Turkey, Norway, and Switzerland. The 8th EPC Summit has been co-chaired by Nikol Pashinyan and Antonio Costa. Around 50 heads of state and government have participated in the summit discussions. Canada has attended the summit upon invitation extended by Antonio Costa on 28 April 2026. Mark Carney has met Nikol Pashinyan on 3 May 2026 prior to the summit. The meeting has taken place in the context of Armenia’s efforts to reduce dependence on Russia. Canada has clarified that it is not seeking membership of the European Union. The EPC promotes cooperation on politics, security, and infrastructure among European countries. The summit reflects expansion of EPC engagement beyond Europe through strategic partnerships.
