Ambassador Designate of Georgia to the United States David Zalkaliani on Thursday said the approval of Georgia Support Act by the United States House of Representatives reinforced “strategic partnership” between the two countries.
Zalkaliani thanked the House Georgia Caucus co-chairs Adam Kinzinger and Gerry Connolly for their efforts in the success of the Act, which he said had been approved in a "critical moment for Euro-Atlantic security", in reference to the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
