During the meeting the parties also discussed the situation in the Russian-occupied regions of Georgia – Abkhazia and Tskhinvali (South Ossetia).

EU Commissioner Hahn once again reiterated that the EU strongly supports Georgia’s territorial integrity and sovereignty within its internationally recognised borders.

The Georgian delegation is headed by Prime Minister Kvirikashvili, at a conference which is bringing together heads of states from more than 30 countries, and more than 100 ministers worldwide.
