According to Zalkaliani, this ministerial meeting is the last high-level event ahead of the NATO Leaders’ Meeting in London scheduled for December 3-4. Therefore, he said, “this format should be maximally used to reflect Georgia’s progress on the path to NATO integration.”
The Georgian FM also announced that Georgia’s European and Euro-Atlantic integration will be among the key issues of discussions with his upcoming meetings with his German and French counterparts, during his visits to Berlin and Paris in near future.
The Georgian FM spoke of Gaprindashvili’s illegal detention with EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Federica Mogherini; OSCE Chairperson-in-Office Miroslav Lajčák, and United Nations Under-Secretary-General for Political and Peacebuilding Affairs Rosemary DiCarlo as well.
