Georgian Deputy Foreign Minister Teimuraz Janjalia on Wednesday said the meeting of Georgian ambassadors to European Union member states, set to launch in Berlin later today, would focus on the country’s European integration process.
In his remarks over the event, Janjalia noted the envoys would exchange opinions on ways of introducing information about the work of the Georgian Government to the country’s partners from across the EU.
[W]e will discuss relations with specific EU countries, as well as cooperation in multilateral formats. Also, what is most important, in this format we are very actively discussing the European integration process of Georgia”, Janjalia said.
“Also, of course, the meeting will focus on the activities carried out by the Georgian authorities and the first report, the first enlargement package, which Georgia has already delivered to the European Union”, he added.
This is the format in which already in the fall, the European Commission will prepare a report on Georgia's status as a candidate. This is very important”, the Deputy Minister pointed out.
Georgia’s diplomatic missions abroad work “24 hours a day” to keep partner states “as informed as possible” about the efforts being made by the Government “both inside and outside the country”, Janjalia also noted.
Georgia's Ambassador to Germany Levan Izoria noted the meeting, set to be opened by Foreign Minister Ilia Darchiashvili, would have a particular focus on Germany’s support for Georgia’s European integration.
Pawel Herczynski, the European Union Ambassador to Georgia, on Sunday said receiving the European Union membership candidate status was the next stage in the country’s integration process and would bring it “even closer” to membership of the bloc.
The Council of the European Union on Thursday adopted two assistance measures under the European Peace Facility in support of the Armed Forces of Moldova and the Georgian Defence Forces to enhance “national security, stability and resilience” in both countries.
The bilateral relations between Georgia and France and the European perspective of the country were discussed on Friday in a meeting between Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili and Catherine Colonna, the French Foreign Minister, who is on an official visit to Georgia.
Georgian Foreign Minister Ilia Darchiashvili on Friday highlighted the importance of the visit of the top French diplomat to the country, and noted that France was an “unwavering” partner in building the country's “European future”.
Cooperation between Georgia and Germany and the country’s European integration process were discussed in a meeting between the Georgian Foreign Minister Ilia Darchiashvili and Tobias Lindner, the Minister of State at the German Foreign Office.
Vakhtang Makharoblishvili, Georgia's Ambassador to the European Union, on Tuesday said the country’s Government was working to “open all doors” to get “as close as possible” to the bloc, in a meeting of ambassadors of Georgia to EU member states in Berlin.
Georgian Foreign Minister Ilia Darchiashvili on Friday awarded Teimuraz Janjalia, his Deputy, and Vakhtang Makharoblishvili, the country’s Ambassador to the European Union, with a prize recognising their contributions to the work that ensured the country received the EU membership candidate status last week.
