Georgia’s Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili has spoken on the phone with United States (US) Senators and thanked them for supporting Georgia.
In two separate phone conversations Kvirikashvili talked to chairman of the Committee on Foreign Relations, Senator Bob Corker and co-chair of the same Committee, Senator Ben Cardin.
The Georgian leader thanked the US politicians for adopting the resolution, where they called on NATO to offer greater support for Georgia.
The resolution highlighted Georgia’s merit and progress to NATO and addressed the Alliance to support the country's quick integration into the Euro-Atlantic space.
Kvirikashvili told the Senators the Georgian Government "greatly appreciated” this support from its "strategic partner” and especially during the NATO Summit in Warsaw, Poland.
The PM invited the US officials to Georgia. In response the Senators said Georgia was among the countries where a visit was always special for them.
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 to NATO and addresses the Alliance to support the country to quickly integrate into the Euro-Atlantic space.
NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg welcomed Georgia's President Giorgi Margvelashvili at a face-to-face meeting at NATO’s 28th Warsaw Summit today for talks on the Alliance’s further partnership with Georgia.
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”.
