US Vice President Biden: Georgia is on the right track

Georgia’s Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili has met US Vice President Joe Biden during the 51st Security Conference in Munich today.

"I had a very fruitful meeting with the US Vice President,” Garibashvili told journalists after the meeting.

"It was a very positive meeting,” he added.

"We discussed issues of joint cooperation, our relations in security and energy issues. The US clearly sees the progress we have achieved in recent years. Of course problems still remain in Georgia; economic problems and others, but – and we also spoke about it – we have concrete plans and a vision of how to overcome these problems. Of course we always have hope for support from the United States and we stated that we expect support from the US, including towards our Euro-Atlantic choice.”

The parties also touched upon the recent situation in the region and discussed the ongoing crisis in Ukraine.

"We also spoke about number of scenarios of developments in respect of Georgia and we also spoke about the threats and challenges our country faces but in general the Vice President himself noted that we are on the right track and that we are developing in the right direction and it needs consistency, and we hope for US support,” the Georgian PM said.
