Bidzina Ivanishvili, former Prime Minister of Georgia, founder of the Georgian Dream, confirms that he met Kelly Degnan on March 21 at the Ambassador’s request.

“Today, when the immediate threat of war has been neutralized as much as possible, I believe that the ruling team has the opportunity to largely shift its attention to another most important priority and to ensure that Georgia’s relations with its strategic partner, the US and the EU, are not damaged.

In conclusion, since a question was publicly raised about holding a meeting between me and the US Ambassador after the start of the war in Ukraine, I want to explain to the public that such a meeting did take place at the request of the Ambassador on March 21 and it lasted for about 3 hours”, - says Bidzina Ivanishvili.
