Nikoloz Samkharadze, the Chair of the Foreign Relations Committee from the ruling Georgian Dream party in the Parliament, on Tuesday said the Chinese side had “a steadfast and unwavering stance” on Georgia’s territorial integrity, “they told us that this position will be continuous”.
In his comments on the sidelines of the ongoing meetings of the ruling Georgian Dream party’s delegation in China, Samkharadze highlighted that China’s support was important in the recognition of Georgia’s territorial integrity and non-recognition of the country's Russian-occupied Abkhazia and Tskhinvali (South Ossetia) regions.
They [Chinese side] respect the fundamental principles of international law, they respect the territorial integrity of Georgia, therefore, their position will be unwavering and very clear in this direction”, the MP stressed in his interview with the Imedi TV channel.
Since Russia directly violates the territorial integrity of Georgia, it is important to have support from “such a global player” as China in this regard, Samkharadze added.
