He said that the consolidated actions of executive and legislative bodies of Georgia, as well as the civil sector and other political forces inside the country are crucial to achieve the foreign goals.
All pro-western political parties should stand together to achieve the goals,” Zalkaliani said.
He stated that the Foreign Ministry will use the resolution ‘as a kind of a guideline’ and will have its action plans for each of the priority directions.
Of course, a new geopolitical situation in the region should be taken into account. We should react swiftly to new challenges,” Zalkaliani said.
He stated that Georgia should triple its efforts to show its attractiveness and importance to the EU as the country has plans to begin applying for EU membership by 2024.
