“I was glad to meet the President of Georgia. Her country’s resistance to Russian tyranny should inspire us all. I proudly stand with Georgia,” the Senator tweeted.
The Georgian President is on a visit to the United States to hold a series of meetings with Congress officials.
The United States Congress “proudly stands” with the people of Georgia, and the country remains “unwavering” in its support of Georgia’s sovereignty in the face of Russian aggression, the Speaker of the US House of Representatives Nancy Pelosi said on Thursday following a meeting with the Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili.
Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili expressed her gratitude to Nancy Pelosi, the Speaker of the US House of Representatives, for approving the Georgia Support Act on Thursday.
Zourabichvili noted the Act reaffirmed the US’ support for Georgia, highlighting the importance of strategic partnership between two countries.
Minister of Foreign Affairs of Georgia Ilia Darchiashvili said on Thursday the approval of Georgia Support Act by the United States House of Representatives showed the “importance” of Georgia as a “reliable strategic partner” for the US.
The United States House of Representatives has approved the Georgia Support Act, establishing a “strategic partnership” between the two countries “at the legislative level”, the Georgian foreign office said on Thursday.
Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili on Saturday congratulated servicemembers of the Georgian Defence Forces on the annual celebration by noting the “great honour” of being their Commander-in-Chief.
Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili on Friday told the United States-based National Public Radio it was “important” the US offer “outspoken” support to Georgia and Moldova while offering help to Ukraine in its defence against the ongoing Russian invasion.
