Relations between Georgia and the United States were discussed on Tuesday in a meeting between the Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze and James O’Brien, the US Assistant Secretary of State for European and Eurasian Affairs.

The Government Administration said the meeting also discussed “processes developed in Georgia over the past few years”, with the officials “sharing their concerns about these events”.

Kobakhidze explained to O’Brien the “need of adopting” the controversial domestic bill on transparency of foreign influence, and expressed the ruling team’s “readiness to carefully consider all legal comments of international partners within the veto procedure”.

The PM also noted the Government was “interested in deepening the partnership” with the US, which required “mutual efforts and a fair relationship”.

O’Brien is also set to meet with other Government officials, civil society and the private sector to express the US’s “enduring commitment to the Georgian people and to the country’s desire for a peaceful, prosperous, and secure Euro-Atlantic future”, the US Department of State said last week.
