EU high representative Mogherini congratulates Kvirikashvili on taking PM’s post

High Representative of the European Union (EU) for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the European Commission, Federica Mogherini, has congratulated Georgia’s Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikahsvili on appointing the post and hoped that the country’s new top official would continue comprehensive reforms for Georgia’s  further integration into the European space. 

Based on the final conclusion of the European Commission all the benchmarks of the action plan have been successfully achieved. 

This was a result of non-stop efforts and the reforms carried out by the Georgian Government you were one of the members of. Now you chair the Government. 

Your leadership will be of high importance in preserving the pace Georgia has shown on the path to visa liberalisation, as well as in the process of fulfilling the obligations revealed through the Georgian-EU Association Agreement (AA) and the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement (DCFTA),” the EU top official wrote. 

In the letter that was released by the Georgian Prime Minister’s webpage also read that Mogherini expressed the EU support to Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity. 

The EU also welcomed the current Georgian Government’s efforts to establish active cooperation and ensure peace with Georgia’s de-facto regions of Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) and Abkhazia.
