Georgia has expressed its readiness to continue working in Afghanistan once the NATO-led International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) mission ends later this year.
"Georgia will share its experience with the Afghan Government in regards to reforms in different spheres,” said Georgia’s Foreign Minister Maia Panjikidze at a joint press conference with her Afghan counterpart Zarar Ahmad Osmani.
Osmani started his first official visit to Tbilisi earlier today.
This morning he met with Panjikidze and discussed perspectives of a partnership between the two countries in economic and transport issues.
The Afghan Minister thanked Georgia for its involvement in ISAF mission.
At the joint press conference it was stressed that Georgia was the biggest non-NATO member contributor to ISAF, with 1,600 soldiers.
During his visit, the Afghan Minister is scheduled to meet Georgia’s President Giorgi Margvelashvili, Prime Minister Irakli Garibahsvili and Defence Minister Irakli Alasania.
