Prime Minister of Georgia took part in a roundtable discussion themed Strengthening Europe’s Security and Democratic Resilience within the framework of the European Political Community Summit.

In his remarks, Irakli Kobakhidze emphasized the importance of a strong Europe for a strong world and described recent trends as alarming. He noted that many European countries are facing the threat of losing their identity, while Europe is also weakening in its ability to act as a strong global player and protect its partners.

In this context, the Prime Minister referred to the devastating consequences of the war in Ukraine, stressing that in such circumstances, other countries cannot count on security guarantees.

He also highlighted Georgia’s achievements and underscored the need to change the unjust attitude toward the country. As Irakli Kobakhidze said, Georgia outperforms several countries that have already been granted EU candidate status in many key areas, and such unfair treatment damages the reputation of European institutions.

He expressed hope that meaningful changes will take place in Europe and that the continent will grow stronger-something essential for safeguarding a rules-based international order.

The roundtable discussion was co-chaired by the Prime Ministers of the United Kingdom and Sweden and was attended by the Prime Ministers of Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Poland, Slovakia, Armenia and Estonia, as well as the Presidents of Greece, Ukraine, the European Council and the European Parliament, and the Secretary General of the OSCE.
