Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili on Monday said his Government was interested in establishing “long-term peace and stability” in the South Caucasus region and making a “significant contribution” to the objective.

Garibashvili highlighted “concrete results” in the Government providing “important mediation” that led to an agreement between Azerbaijani and Armenian governments in their dispute over the Nagorno-Karabakh region.

He noted his office maintained “close, friendly relations” with its partners in the region - Armenia, Azerbaijan and Turkey.

I would like to mention some time ago the Prime Minister of Azerbaijan and the Prime Minister of Armenia visited Georgia. We, the leaders of all three countries, had a unique opportunity to hold a meeting together. I think it was a very interesting precedent that we set”, he added.

The PM also highlighted his and Foreign Minister Ilia Darchiashvili’s “successful” foreign trips as well as the visit of Josep Borrell, the European Union High Representative, to the country’s capital Tbilisi in September, along with that of Viktor Orbán, the Hungarian Prime Minister, in October and Austrian Chancellor Karl Nehammer in January.
