Within the framework of the 19th Francophonie summit, the "Resolution on crises in the Francophone region, their overcoming and strengthening of peace" was adopted, by which 54 member states of the organization expressed solidarity with Armenia and the peace process.

The resolution emphasized respect for the territorial integrity of both countries in the peace process between Armenia and Azerbaijan, which was in line with the 1991 Alma-Ata Declaration. Francophone member states welcomed the progress made in the delimitation process and the restoration of the interstate border based on the principles reaffirmed in the Protocol of April 19, 2024. They encouraged reopening regional communication channels based on respect for sovereignty, national jurisdiction, equality, and reciprocity.

The inadmissibility of the use of force was emphasized, and a call was made to refrain from belligerent rhetoric and hate speech that could hinder the peace process.

The resolution also emphasized the importance of the European Union Civilian Mission (EUMA) located in Armenia and its contribution to stability in the border areas.

In the resolution, the provision of continuous humanitarian assistance to 115,000 forcibly displaced refugees from Nagorno Karabakh, the resolution of the problems of prisoners of war and other detained persons, as well as the missing persons, was emphasized. The FMC reaffirmed its concern over the destruction of cultural heritage in Nagorno-Karabakh and the support of member states in the implementation of the UNESCO mission to Nagorno-Karabakh and adjacent territories.
