Polish President Bronisław Komorowski phoned Georgian President Giorgi Margvelashvili earlier today and said Poland was interested in ratifying the important trade document as soon as possible, the Georgian President’s Administration announced today.

During the phone conversation, Komorowski expressed his support to Georgia as it embarked on the AA ratification process.
