Expressing deep condolence towards families who have lost their loved ones, the Georgian Foreign Ministry addressed Georgians living in the UK to use the hotline of Georgia’s diplomatic representation in London in case of any emergency.
The Ministry said there are no Georgians among the dead or injured, however, those who live in or nearby London are highly encouraged to keep in constant coordination with the Georgian consulates in the UK, follow local police recommendations and avoid traffic in the places surrounding Westminster where the terror attack has occurred.
