Georgia’s Ambassador to the United States (US), David Bakradze, has been invited to become a member of the Ambassador Leadership Council (ALC) within the Atlantic Council.

Bakradze was invited to join ALC by Frederick Kempe, the president and the chief executive officer of the Atlantic Council, a US-based think tank in the field of international affairs.

The ALC convenes ambassadors from the Washington diplomatic corps who represent nations that share the values and interests of the Atlantic Council. Its members engage in the Atlantic Council’s work through private strategy sessions, public events, media outreach and online and print publications. ALC members also collaborate with the Atlantic Council to host their visiting head of state, head of government and cabinet ministers to discuss challenges and opportunities facing the global community.

Kempe and Bakradze shared a word before the Georgian diplomat delivered a speech at a strategy session of the Atlantic Council. He talked about ongoing reforms in Georgia and the country’s role in global security.

Bakradze was appointed as Georgia’s ambassador to the US in October of 2016.
