High Representative of the European Union (EU) for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice-President of the European Commission, Federica Mogherini, has congratulated Georgia’s Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikahsvili on appointing the post and hoped that the country’s new top official would continue comprehensive reforms for Georgia’s further integration into the European space.
Based on the final conclusion of the European Commission all the benchmarks of the action plan have been successfully achieved.
This was a result of non-stop efforts and the reforms carried out by the Georgian Government you were one of the members of. Now you chair the Government.
Your leadership will be of high importance in preserving the pace Georgia has shown on the path to visa liberalisation, as well as in the process of fulfilling the obligations revealed through the Georgian-EU Association Agreement (AA) and the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Agreement (DCFTA),” the EU top official wrote.
In the letter that was released by the Georgian Prime Minister’s webpage also read that Mogherini expressed the EU support to Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
The EU also welcomed the current Georgian Government’s efforts to establish active cooperation and ensure peace with Georgia’s de-facto regions of Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) and Abkhazia.
"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.
How to empower women and ensure gender equality in the world – hundreds of international delegates have gathered to discuss this important issue in Tbilisi today.
The EU said Mogherini would come to Georgia after completing her November 9 visit to Ukraine. She was due to be in Georgia on Tuesday, November 10.
Georgia will do everything it can to positively resolve the visa liberalisation issue, said Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili at today's meeting with the European Union's (EU) High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini.
Georgia’s Permanent Representative to the Council of Europe Konstantine Korkelia is condemning Russia’s actions of aligning itself closer with Georgia’s breakaway Abkhazia region, and his comments have been applauded by all but one Council of Europe member states.
Russia’s signature of a so-called treaty on ‘Alliance and Strategic Partnership’ with Georgia's breakaway region Abkhazia is detrimental to ongoing efforts to stabilise the security situation in the region, the European Union (EU) says.
The European Union (EU) will support Georgian reforms and especially encourage the development of private sector, Georgian and EU top officials agreed in Munich, Germany this evening.
