Last night the Senate of the United States (US) passed a unanimous resolution prior to the 28th Summit of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) which highlights Georgia’s merit and progress towards NATO and addresses the Alliance to support Georgia to quickly integrate into the Euro-Atlantic space.
The three-page resolution text, which expressed the opinion of the Senate to today’s NATO Warsaw Summit in Poland, included three parts mentioning Georgia.
The resolution stated after the 2014 NATO Wales Summit, the Russian military invaded Ukraine, adding Crimea to the list of areas illegally controlled by Moscow, including Georgia’s Abkhazia and Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) regions.
The document also stated in follow-up to commitments made at the NATO Wales Summit, NATO and the Government of Georgia agreed on a Substantial Package of cooperation and defence reform initiatives to strengthen Georgia’s resilience and self-defense capabilities.
According to the resolution the Substantial Package also provided opportunities for Georgia to develop closer security cooperation and interoperability with NATO members, including through the establishment of the Joint Training and Evaluation Center, which was inaugurated in 2015.
Finally the Senate recognised Georgia’s troop contributions to missions abroad, its robust defence spending, and its ongoing efforts to strengthen its democratic and military institutions for NATO accession.
Thousands of official participants of the 28th Summit of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) will be able to enjoy a taste of Georgian wine at the two-day event, says Georgia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Georgia's President Giorgi Margvelashvili has today announced almost all of the country’s leading political parties unanimous support Georgia's "irreversible" efforts to join NATO.
A Georgian delegation led by President Giorgi Margvelashvili is on its way to Poland to participate in the 28th North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) Summit, which is scheduled to take place over the next two days.
Georgia’s relations with the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and the country’s expectations of the upcoming NATO Summit in Warsaw were high on the agenda of today’s meeting between Georgia's Minister of Defence Tinatin Khidasheli and NATO’s Deputy Secretary General Alexander Vershbow in Brussels, Belgium.
Georgia’s Minister of Defence Tinatin Khidasheli is in Paris, France to meet her French counterpart and discuss Georgia-France military relations.
Georgia wants to become a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organisation (NATO) and at this year’s NATO Summit in Warsaw, the country wants to hear a "clear message” that it is getting closer to the alliance.
The annual NATO Week has begun in Georgia aiming to raise awareness of the role of NATO and highlight Georgia’s recent success in moving closer to the North Atlantic organisation.
In two separate phone conversations Kvirikashvili talked to chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations Bob Corker and co-chair of the same Committee Ben Cardin.
Foreign Affairs experts from the United States (US) Congress have passed a resolution in support of Georgia’s territorial integrity.
The resolution stated the recognition of Georgia’s two breakaway territories Abkhazia and Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) as independent republics by Russia in the wake of the 2008 Russia-Georgia war was a "violation of international laws and regulations”.
Prime Minister of Georgia Giorgi Kvirikashvili has thanked the United States (US) Congress for adopting a resolution supporting Georgia’s territorial integrity.
The US Congress, both the Senate and the House of Representative, passed a bill which imposes new sanctions on Russia, Iran and North Korea for their destructive actions.Russia has already hailed the document as a drawback in Russia-US relations, which "leaves no room to improve ties” between the two states.
