Georgian parliament speaker Shalva Papuashvili, who is on an official visit to Portugal, on Thursday said Georgia enjoyed “absolute support” from representatives of the Portuguese parliament.
In his remarks over meetings in the legislative body, Papuashvili noted the support from the Portuguese counterparts was “important”.
“In addition to [support in Georgia’s] European integration, Portugal is our important partner in the non-recognition policy [of Russian-occupied territories of Georgia] in relations with Portuguese-speaking countries”, the Georgian official noted.

“In this regard, we have always felt practical help from them, and this will certainly continue to be the case. Therefore, it is important that the relationship between our parliaments becomes even closer”, Papuashvili said.
He also stressed the European continent could “only be at peace” once its “Westernmost and Easternmost parts” would be under “one EU and NATO umbrella” and said he hoped for Portugal’s support in the goal.
