Georgian FM highlights PM’s participation in Ukraine Recovery Conference in Berlin

Georgian Foreign Minister Ilia Darchiashvili on Monday highlighted Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze’s participation in the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Berlin alongside world leaders.

Darchiashvili said the PM’s visit and participation in the Conference was “another proof” Georgia was “doing everything within its capabilities to help the country that is currently in a state of war”.

The PM will have a specific address in the round table format, and then he will make a separate statement, which he will do in terms of supporting Ukraine. I think it is very important to participate in this format - Georgia has always helped Ukraine within the limits of possibility in recent years”, he said.

The top Georgian diplomat said the event, scheduled for June 11-12, was aimed to discuss “aid for Ukraine to deal with all the challenges the war-torn country faces today”.

The Government Administration on Monday said the PM was accompanied by Darchiashvili and Levan Zhorzholiani, the Head of the Government Administration, for the visit.

The Administration added the event would focus on mobilising the private sector for a recovery and economic growth of Ukraine, restoration of its municipalities and regions, the state’s accession to the European Union and related reforms.
