Parliament Foreign Affairs Committee Head: US support “especially important” for Georgia

The ongoing United States support for Georgia is “especially important”, Nikoloz Samkharadze, the ruling Georgian Dream MP who chairs the Parliament’s Foreign Affairs Committee, said on Friday.

Samkharadze said the visit of an ongoing US Congressional delegation to Georgia showed American support for Georgia.

We had the opportunity to talk about the developments in the [Black Sea] region [and] security issues. United States support is especially important for Georgia, and it is good that the Congresspeople are here and see the situation on the ground,” the Parliament official said.

The US delegation, led by Senator Coons, is on an official visit to meet with senior Government officials and civil society leaders across several countries to discuss the importance of sustaining and strengthening the Trans-Atlantic Alliance.
