The matters of bilateral relations and perspectives of cooperation with the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States in a number of multilateral formats were discussed on Friday in a meeting between Georgian Foreign Minister Ilia Darchiashvili and visiting foreign ministers of the OECS, the Foreign Ministry said.
The parties highlighted the importance of strengthening global partnership and developing cooperation with countries in different regions of the world for Georgia.
The meeting also pointed out the matter of Georgia’s Russian-occupied regions of Abkhazia and Tskhinvali (South Ossetia), with Darchiashvili extending his gratitude to visiting officials for their support for the United Nations resolution on internally displaced persons from the state's Russian-occupied regions, adopted by the 78th UN General Assembly in June.
Darchiashvili noted the resolution had a special humanitarian and practical importance, apart from the political aspect, for improving the current situation in security and human rights in the country’s occupied regions, and provided information to his counterparts on the agenda of Georgia's peace policy and the state's integration into the European Union.
The officials also discussed the matters of Georgia's involvement in regional international organisations and deepening of cooperation, while the individual meetings with the ministers focused on the perspective of development of bilateral cooperation in economy, tourism, education and other fields.
The parties noted Georgia's reforms and achievements in good governance, state services, improvement of business environment and a number of other areas, with foreign ministers expressing their readiness to share Georgia’s “successful experience”.
