Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili is in Brussels to discuss his country’s European future.
Garibashvili, who left for Belgium last evening, will attend the second meeting of the European Union (EU)-Georgia Association Council today. At the meeting the Georgian side will report on its progress of launching its Association Agreement (AA) landmarks.
The meeting will be followed by joint statements by PM Garibashvili, Vice President of the European Commission Federica Mogherini and Commissioner for European Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations Johannes Hahn.
While in Belgium the Georgian PM will also hold meetings with the first Vice President of the European Commission Frans Timmerman and the President of the European Council Donald Tusk.
The European Union (EU) supports Georgia’s territorial integrity and as a clear sign of this support the EU’s top official has travelled to the area where Russia violates Georgian borders.
European Union (EU) top official Federica Mogherini hopes Georgia will soon receive "good news” about its visa liberaliation ambitions.
"Georgia has fulfilled many significant obligations and should keep following the same path in order to get positive recommendation at the end of the year in terms of visa liberalisation,” believes European Union (EU) top official Federica Mogherini.
Georgia is "definitely a front-runner” in the Eastern Partnership (EaP) but the country has many reforms ahead before it receives visa free travel to the European Union (EU).
European Union (EU) top officials have recognised the progress Georgia has made to implement its Association Agreement (AA) and towards visa liberalisation.
EU Commissioner for European Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations Johannes Hahn announced he would come to Georgia in the near future and meet with local officials.
Georgia has introduced its business and investment environment to members of the Belgian business society to encourage them to invest in Georgia.
Georgia’s investment environment, implemented economic reforms and future cooperation prospects were the focus of a meeting between Georgia’s Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili and Richard Weber, president of Eurochambres.
The Prime Minister of Georgia is confident the country will be offered a visa free regime with European Union (EU) countries by the end of the year.
EU Commissioner for European Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations Johannes Hahn arrived in Georgia early this morning for a two-day visit.
The European Union (EU) Commissioner for European Neighbourhood Policy and Enlargement Negotiations Johannes Hahn believes Georgia is one of the "leading countries” in terms of EU relations and now the focus should be on implementation of AA.
The sixth informal meeting of Eastern Partnership (EaP) countries, bringing together European Union (EU) and regional high representations, has concluded in Georgia’s capital Tbilisi today.
Today Georgia’s Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili invited European Commission President Jean-Claude Juncker to Georgia so he can learn more about the reforms implemented in Georgia.
