Guðni Jóhannesson, the President of Iceland who is on a visit to Georgia, on Tuesday said he welcomed the country’s desire to join the “Euro-Atlantic alliance” and vowed his country’s support for the process.

The visiting official, who met his Georgian counterpart Salome Zourabichvili, noted Georgia had “great potential”, and further pointed out that “we are ready to cooperate with Georgia and the Georgian people in various fields”.

He also reviewed the ongoing war in Ukraine and noted it was “necessary to vow support” for Russia's neighbouring countries and condemn Moscow’s “arbitrary aggression”.

“As for the visit to Georgia, within the framework of our visit we paid attention to green energy. We think that we can deepen our cooperation in this direction”, Jóhannesson said.
