Allies have agreed to step up our partnership, stay in partnership with partners like for instance, Georgia. Such a statement NATO Secretary General made ahead of the meetings of NATO Defence Ministers in Brussels.

Question, Rustavi 2:

“Secretary General, you yesterday mentioned already that ministers also will discuss how to improve support, practical support to partner countries as Georgia, Moldova, Bosnia & Herzegovina. Should we expect some decisions today and how also is going implementation and process regarding tailored made package for Georgia?”

Answer, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg:

“I think that one of the lessons we have learned already from the war in Ukraine is the importance of providing support to partners sooner than later, as it was important to support Ukraine, before the invasion, it is also important to support other partners, which are vulnerable for Russian interventions.

And therefore, Allies have agreed to step up our partnership, stay in partnership with partners like for instance, Georgia, and we are now working on how to step up support related to cyber, crisis management and secure communication. So yes, tailored partnership, tailored support is part of what we do with partners like Georgia”, - said Jens Stoltenberg.
