The visit of the Speaker of the Parliament to Brussels has ended. Kakha Kuchava held meetings with European Parliament President David Sassoli, several leading MEPs, European Commissioner for Neighborhood and Enlargement Olivér Várhelyi, and NATO Deputy Secretary General Mircea Geoană.

The Deputy Secretary General and the Parliament Speaker discussed plans to further cooperation between Georgia and the Alliance. It is important to achieve Georgia’s goal for joining the NATO, “with a Membership Action Plan, or without it”.

“More NATO in Georgia - this was the main topic we talked about with the NATO Deputy Secretary General. The topics of conversation were also the close cooperation between Georgia and the Alliance and a joint plan, which will further enhance cooperation. They thanked us for cooperation, be it Afghanistan or other formats, and most importantly, they understand very well how important the open door policy is. We want membership, through MAP, or without MAP, which is also possible. It is important that we achieve this goal as soon as possible”, - said Kakha Kuchava.
