NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg met with Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili at NATO Headquarters on April 25, 2023, for talks about strengthening the NATO-Georgia partnership, APA reports citing the NATO website.
Calling Georgia “one of NATO’s closest partners”, the Secretary-General stressed that “Allies fully support Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.”
He further noted that Georgia “can count on NATO’s continued political and practical support. In turn, I count on Georgia to redouble efforts on domestic reforms, and uphold democratic standards.”
“We do not know when the war will end. But we know that Russian aggression is a toxic pattern that must be stopped once and for all.” He added.
“Ukraine is upholding its right to self-defense under the UN Charter, and we expect all NATO partners to support this aim," Mr. Stoltenberg said.
