Historic diplomatic mission launched by Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani was particularly successful in the recent decade and it should ensure our return to the European family. Georgian diplomats are standing at the avant-garde of achieving this goal. It was announced by the Prime Minister of Georgia when delivering a key-note speech at the event dedicated to the professional Day of Diplomats today.

According to Irakli Garibashvili, contributions made by Georgia are acknowledged worldwide in the process of ensuring global peace.

“Together with our brave soldiers, great efforts made by Georgian diplomats have increased our role in global politics. Today, Georgia stands by the side of its partners as an aspiring NATO state by assuming its share of responsibility in addressing the current challenges. It is clearly confirmed by the last and successful mission of Georgia in the evacuation of peaceful citizens from Afghanistan. You may well be aware that we received yet another recognition by the international community. Also, I wish to note that after regaining our independence our right vision of development in the global context has turned us into the main strategic partner of the USA in the region. It played an essential role in the transformation of Georgia into a democratic state and in its safe development. This partnership is as solid as never before. Besides, we are constantly looking for new directions to develop it further be that in economic ties, military cooperation, people-to-people contacts of other”, - added the Head of the Government.
