U.S. Vice President Jay D. Vance will visit Armenia and Azerbaijan following his participation in the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympic Games in Milan. This was reported by the Associated Press.

It is noted that during the opening ceremony of the Winter Olympics, Vice President Vance will lead the U.S. delegation, which includes his wife, Usha Vance, Secretary of State Marco Rubio, and the U.S. Ambassador to Italy, Thlmann Fertita.

"After Italy, Vance will travel to Armenia and Azerbaijan, where Trump has tasked him with developing an agreement aimed at cessation of the forty-year conflict between the two countries," said the Associated Press, without specifying the exact date of the U.S. Vice President's visit.
