The existing partnership and positive dynamics of bilateral relations between Georgia and Germany were discussed on Tuesday by Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze and Peter Fischer, the German Ambassador to the country.
At the meeting held at the Government Administration, the sides reviewed the progress achieved by Georgia on its path into the European Union, emphasising the significance of Germany’s political support in the process of granting the bloc’s membership candidate status to the country in December 2023.
Kobakhidze reaffirmed the Georgian Government's commitment to European values and thanked the German diplomat for his country’s “strong support” for Georgia’s sovereignty, territorial integrity and non-recognition policy of the Russian-occupied territories of the country.
The sides also noted that the Georgian PM’s visit to Germany, planned in the near future, would be important for further deepening bilateral relations and the development of existing cooperation in various fields.
Peter Fischer, the German Ambassador to Georgia, on Wednesday said his country’s Government would unequivocally support granting the European Union membership candidate status to Georgia.
Peter Fischer, the German Ambassador to Georgia, on Friday said members of the European Union “must” make it “stronger”, adding Georgia “must be part of it”.
The 17th Plenary Meeting of the Conference of Parliamentary Committees for Union Affairs of the EU Parliaments in Brussels adopted a document that calls for working towards opening accession talks with Georgia, “in line with the merit-based approach”.
Maka Botchorishvili, the Chair of the European Integration Committee of the Georgian Parliament, on Monday told the Conference of Parliamentary Committees for Union Affairs the country had “proven itself as a reliable partner” of the European Union by contributing to its Common Security and Defence Policy.
