Cooperation between Georgian and German law enforcers is exemplary, says a German high official.
German State Secretary at the Federal Ministry of Internal Affairs, Emily Haber, voiced her positive thoughts about Georgia when she met Georgia’s Foreign Minister Mikheil Janelidze, who is on an official visit to Berlin, Germany.
Hamber praised the high level of cooperation between Germany and Georgia, especially the "exemplary collaboration” between the interior ministries, including police, of the two countries.
The cooperation has turned out successful in many directions, especially in the fight against organised crime,” said Haber.
The pair also discussed the efforts of the Georgian Government to intensify its European and Euro-Atlantic integration.
Germany recognises Georgia’s progress in its visa liberalisation process and is interested in Georgia receiving a visa-free regime with the EU,” Haber said.
She stressed "Georgia is a stable partner of the European family” and "the best example of democratic development in the region”.
“I will do what I can“ for Georgia’s visa liberalisation
Germany's Foreign Minister Frank-Walter Steinmeier has declared his continued support for Georgia’s visa liberalisation with the European Union (EU) and hopes it will be finalised "soon", following his successful visit to Georgia.
Georgian and German police forces are forging closer ties to better fight crime and enhance the already strong cooperation between the agencies of the two nations.
European Union (EU) Enlargement Commissioner Johannes Hahn is confident Georgia will be granted visa liberalisation later this year.
