Georgia’s Western partners, including the United States, the European Union and the United Kingdom, “have repeatedly praised” the country’s compliance with all international financial sanctions imposed on Russia for its invasion of Ukraine, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili said on Friday at the United Nations General Assembly in New York.
In his address to the Assembly, Garibashvili noted that despite the challenges posed by the country’s geographic location, his Government “has managed to keep our people safe while supporting Ukraine and the international community through prudent policies and close coordination” with the country’s partners.
Let me be clear – the fundamental philosophy of our Government is to avoid war and secure peace”, the Head of the Government stressed.
He added that Georgia “understands the cost of war and recognises the value of peace”, noting that since 2012, his Government “has built and maintained an uninterrupted decade of peace and stability”.
