Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili and Philip Reeker, the Senior Adviser of the United States Department of State for Caucasus Negotiations and the Geneva International Discussions, met in Tbilisi on Monday to discuss Russia’s war in Ukraine, regional and global security challenges and the situation in Georgia’s Russian-occupied Abkhazia and Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) regions, the Administration of the Government of Georgia said. 

Congratulating Reeker on his recent appointment as the US OSCE Minsk Group Co-Chair and lead negotiator for the US delegation to the Geneva International Discussions - the latter established to address the consequences of the Russia-Georgia 2008 war - the head of the Georgian Government described his country as “a reliable partner and loyal ally of the US in the [South Caucasus] region and beyond”.
