As a responsible member of the international community, Georgia actively contributes to global peace, said the Prime Minister of Georgia in his speech at the UN Security Council.

“It is a pleasure to be here with you all. I would like to thank the Prime Minister of Slovenia for initiating this very timely debate.

At the first Session in 1946, the founders promised to unite to maintain global peace and security. As a responsible member of the international community, Georgia actively contributes to global peace. For more than two decades, we have made substantial contributions to NATO and EU-led missions worldwide, making Georgia one of the largest per capita contributors to the NATO missions in Iraq and Afghanistan. 32 brave Georgian soldiers made the ultimate sacrifice in Afghanistan, while hundreds of others suffered injuries in the pursuit of freedom and peace”, - said Irakli Kobakhidze.
