Georgia and Greece celebrate 30 years since the establishment of diplomatic relations between the countries on April 20.
The Georgian Foreign Ministry said Greece was one of the first countries in Europe to recognise Georgia as an independent state since the latter’s secession from the Soviet Union.
The Government of Greece supports Georgia’s sovereignty, its territorial integrity and the non-recognition policy [of Georgia’s Russian-occupied breakaway regions]; Georgia’s European aspirations; Georgia’s integration in NATO,” MFA Georgia wrote.
#OTD 30 years ago Georgia and Greece established diplomatic relations. Over the past 30 years we have developed fruitful cooperation in a number of fields and we are committed to further foster it for the benefit of our nations! #Diplo30GeorgiaGreece ???????????????? @GreeceMFA pic.twitter.com/iM4QHMUnrg
