Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Gharibashvili explains why the President of Georgia Salome Zurabishvili has been denied visits abroad on the background of the Ukraine-Russia War.

"When such difficult processes are taking place in the region, the large-scale war in Ukraine, every member of the Government and I believe the President of Georgia, the Commander-in-Chief, should be in the country, that was our main argument and motivation to deny her visit," said the Prime Minister.

The point is that in the annual report delivered in the Georgian parliament on March 14, Georgian President Salome Zourabichvili spoke about “restrictions imposed on the President’s international activities” by the government. Salome Zourabichvili said she was banned from making working visits to Paris, Brussels, Berlin and Warsaw.

“I found it necessary to use my contacts and recast working visits into personal meetings. I think similar approaches and restrictions are harmful to our country, located in such a complex region. There is no time for restrictions, on the contrary, we should be involved at the international level as much as possible,” President said.
