We want to see Georgia in the European Union, we want Georgians to enrich the European Union, German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock said at a briefing after the meeting with the Georgian Foreign Minister.
As the Minister noted, Georgia has friends in Brussels and Berlin, whom it can count on.
"Thank you very much for this friendly reception in Tbilisi. Germany has is great interest in Georgia, its people, history, amazing nature and cuisine. The interest is proved by the increase in the number of German tourists who want to come to Georgia. For people, khinkali and khachapuri are no longer foreign words, even though they are not easy to pronounce, including for me. This is an anecdote for the German press.
Yesterday I saw the extraordinary city of Tbilisi, its extraordinary architecture, in which German architecture is not strange. This is related to a two-way relationship.
We in Germany have been intensively observing the ongoing processes in your country regarding the "Foreign Agents" draft law during the past weeks. European flags were flying. I was very impressed that men and women were walking in the streets of Tbilisi, waving the European flag. All this contributed to the development of civil society. Our experience in Europe is a strong civil society. This is not only a chance, but also a belief in European values. There is also an incentive. We can be proud of a strong civil society. Georgia is the European Union. We were convinced of this not by the past weeks, but by the past year. The place of people, the population of Georgia is in the European Union. Therefore, I came to Georgia with a specific message. We want to see Georgia in the European Union, we want Georgians to enrich the European Union. We will support you on this path. You have friends in Brussels and Berlin you can count on. They will sincerely support you to join the European Union. It is important that we go through this path together, sincerely", - noted the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Germany.
