The recent hantavirus cluster aboard the Dutch-flagged expedition cruise ship MV Hondius in the South Atlantic serves as a sobering reminder that infectious disease threats continue to emerge in our interconnected world.
The European Union has held its first-ever summit with Armenia in Yerevan this week - a diplomatic milestone that produced a joint declaration, a new connectivity partnership and a broader commitment to deepen ties. For Armenia, it is a political moment. For Europe, it is a strategic signal.
Commemorating human suffering is a moral duty. Remembering the dead, acknowledging pain, and reaffirming a commitment to prevent future atrocities - these are responsibilities that transcend politics, geography and identity.
