The decision of the USA and the European Union to suspend the allocation of funds in defence is unfortunate because it does not meet our expectations regarding the restart of relations, said Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze at today’s Cabinet meeting.
According to PM, these relations truly need to be restarted, and the Georgian side is ready for this.
“I would like to respond to the decision of the USA and the European Union to suspend the allocation of funds in defence. This decision is unfortunate. It’s unfortunate because it doesn’t align with our expectations for restarting our relationships.
I must emphasize that considering the recent political developments of the past four years, it is crucial to reset these relations. For this, the Georgian side, our government, and the state are fully ready, and we are waiting for the next steps. Of course, such decisions are counterproductive in terms of restarting relationships.
However, I hope that pragmatic, rational, correct, and fair steps will be taken in the future, and it is these steps that will contribute to restarting the relations between the USA and Georgia. We are fully ready for this,” said Irakli Kobakhidze.
