The pair spoke about deepening economic and political relations between Georgia and the US.

"We had a very good and cooperative relationship with the previous Prime Minister and we’re looking forward to continuing that deep and broad cooperation with Prime Minister Kvirikashvili,” the Ambassador said after the meeting.

"We had a great opportunity in the beginning of this new year to talk about the priorities of the Georgian Government in this critical year – it’s a very political year for both of our countries.
"And, of course, we talked about the ways we could be of assistance and where we can be most helpful in helping Georgia be successful.”

The US Embassador also said the US would be a supporter of Georgia’s territorial integrity and the country’s Euro-Atlantic aspirations.
