The Latvian capital is hosting the 4th Eastern Partnership (EaP) Summit on May 21-22.
Over the next two days European Union (EU) leaders will meet representatives of the six EaP countries (Armenia, Azerbaijan, Belarus, Georgia, Moldova, and Ukraine) to discuss the further development of each country’s relationship with the EU.
The Riga Summit is chaired by the President of the European Council Donald Tusk who, together with the President of the European Commission Jean-Claude Juncker, will represent the EU. The event is being hosted by the Prime Minister of Latvia.
As well as the European perspectives of the six EaP countries, conflict resolution in the region will also be high on the agenda, both in relation to the crisis in Ukraine and other unresolved conflicts in the region.
The Georgian delegation is led by Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili. The PM is accompanied by Georgia's Minister of Foreign Affairs Tamar Beruchashvili and Georgia's State Minister on European and Euro-Atlantic Integration David Bakradze.
