Georgia is hosting some important guests from NATO today.
A NATO Parliamentary delegation has arrived in Tbilisi, led by the President of NATO Parliamentary Assembly Hugh Bayley. Included in the delegation are Assembly vice presidents Daniel Bacquelaine and Karl Lamers, former vice pesident Julio Miranda Calha and Secretary General David Hobbs.
The guests will start their official visit tomorrow. Their first meeting will be held at the NATO Liaison Office (NLO) with the office's head William Lahue and representatives of non-governmental organisations.
After that, the delegation will meet Georgian Parliament Speaker David Usupashvili at Tbilisi Marriot hotel, which will be followed by a joint press conference between Usupashvili and Bayley.
Within the official visit, the delegation members will also meet with Georgian's Foreign Minister Maia Panjikidze, President Giorgi Margvelashvili, Prime Minister Irakli Garibshvili and Defence Minister Irakli Alasania tomorrow.
Georgia is NATO’s "most important partner” and moves will be made to strengthen Georgia’s security and bring the country closer to the North Atlantic Alliance, says a top NATO official.
Hybrid threats and the Russian occupation in the Georgian regions of Abkhazia and Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) were in focus of a meeting between the NATO Parliamentary Delegation and representatives of the Georgian State Security Service on Wednesday.
