They are obvious in the hearts of the thousands of American and Georgian soldiers who trained and served together in NATO theaters. Americans and Georgians are built for a long-term partnership, and we look forward to the next decades of U.S. - Georgian cooperation,” the Embassy added in its statement on the date.
