The US Ambassador to Georgia, Ian Kelly, has said that the Georgian Dream leadership wants to develop a multi-party parliamentary democracy where decisions are made based on a consensus while answering questions online earlier today.
I believe that the Georgian Dream leadership does not want to suppress the opposition. Both the Georgian Prime Minister and the Parliament Speaker wish to develop parliamentary democracy,” the ambassador stated.
Kelly underscored that there were some worries in his country when the Georgian Dream party won a large proportion of seats in Parliament in 2016.
However, he said that he believes that the Georgian Dream leadership will continue to act constructively.
The ambassador also stated that much was dependent on the active civil sector and people’s attitude to its government and parliament.
Ian Kelly is due to complete his mission in Georgia this month.
US Ambassador to Georgia Ian Kelly has announced that he will retire once his mission in Georgia concludes at the end of March, bringing an end to a 33-year career.
The government of Georgia has launched a Strategic Communication Training programme for public servants, which envisages the boosting of strategic communication skills for central and regional government employees of Georgia.The training is financially supported by the US Embassy to Georgia.
Georgia has bipartisan support from the United States, says US Ambassador to Georgia Ian Kelly, following a major decision by the House of Representatives to continue supporting Georgia.
"We are looking forward to working with the new Parliament and Government of Georgia,” says US Ambassador to Georgia Ian Kelly at today's inaugural session of the ninth Parliament.
