The most important message is that they are coming to show US’s continued support for Georgia - Kelly Degnan

The most important message is that they are coming to show America’s continued support for Georgia and our partnership. Such a statement made today US Ambassador to Georgia, while commenting the visit of Senators to Georgia.

“This is a long standing partnership, as Georgia has developed its democracy that is going to continue. Because of COVID we had a little break, but they are anxious to come back and see how things are developing here in Georgia.

So many topics will be on the agenda. There’s bipartisan support, I think you see that in the fact that Senator Shaheen and Senator Portman are coming, and many others are interested in hearing about their trip, when they get back, so they are going to be full range of meetings with government officials, civil society and opposition leaders.

They will be focusing on the continued Russian aggression and occupation of 20% of Georgia’s territory, which remains a very important and concerning issue for the US, as well as for Georgia. And I think they are interested to see how Georgia is doing and whether that commitment to its democratic development and its Euro Atlantic aspiration remains as strong as ever”, - said Kelly Degnan.
