Georgia must pursue a consistent, pragmatic foreign policy grounded in national interests, particularly amid the occupation of two regions and serious security challenges, Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze said.
Speaking at an event marking Diplomat’s Day, Kobakhidze said the government began a phased reform of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs in 2025, aimed at strengthening the diplomatic service, improving its flexibility and efficiency, and expanding Georgia’s diplomatic missions abroad.
One of the reform’s key priorities is attracting talented young people to the diplomatic service. To support this goal, the government established the Academy of Diplomacy, which the Prime Minister described as a strategic investment in the country’s future. The academy is expected to train professionals with strong analytical skills, knowledge and ethical standards.
Kobakhidze also praised Georgian diplomats for their professionalism and contribution to protecting the country’s sovereignty and national interests, and congratulated recipients of awards presented on Diplomat’s Day.
