President Poroshenko made comments on the appointment of Mikheil Saakashvili on his official website.

"We"ve been thinking for a long time how to use the knowledge, experience and unique know-how of Mikheil Saakashvili in the best way. In Georgia, he managed to implement reforms virtually in all spheres of economic, political and social life. The path we chose the last year with the Revolution of Dignity has been already completed and verified by our neighbors. They are ready to share their experience with us. Until recently, Mikheil was, in fact, a freelance consultant of Ukraine in the issue of reforms. And now, finally, he gets the official status," the President of Ukraine said.

"Mikheil will become a representative of Ukraine abroad and, simultaneously, a representative of the international community in Ukraine. We are confident that it is Mikheil who will establish a bilateral communication between Ukraine and the world on the issue of reforms. He will involve the best foreign experience and decently represent us abroad," Petro Poroshenko noted.
