President of the European Parliament Roberta Metsola said leaders at the EPC Summit in Yerevan will discuss further integration with allies and partners, as well as the fight against hybrid threats.
Speaking at a press briefing ahead of the EPC Summit, Metsola thanked Armenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan for hosting the event and recalled that just days ago, the European Parliament had adopted a resolution by an overwhelming majority welcoming Armenia’s commitment to strong democracy and European values.
Metsola highlighted Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney’s participation in the EPC summit.
“We will discuss fighting disinformation and hybrid threats. These are no longer remote risks. It is something that the European Parliament is particularly committed on working with stakeholders to make sure that these are stamped out because they are a real threat to democracy. Wars are not only fought on the ground, but they’re also fought in the digital sphere, and they undermine and target the most vulnerable parts of our society. So in this regard, our commitment is also to work with social platforms,” she said, highlighting the need to make sure that tools that were created to bring people together, are not abused.
“Finally, on artificial intelligence, we are aware of the concerns, but those do not stop us from using artificial intelligence, actually, to solve the problems and the challenges that we have in order to make sure that our democracies are protected.”
