Georgia’s Minister of Foreign Affairs, Maka Botchorishvili, congratulated diplomats on their professional day.

As Botchorishvili wrote on social media, the loyalty and professionalism of diplomats in defending the country’s interests and values are invaluable.

“Dear diplomats, I congratulate you on your professional day! Your loyalty and professionalism in defending our country’s interests and values are invaluable!

Today, as the global security system faces its most formidable challenge and international relations undergo rapid change, the challenges confronting Georgia become increasingly complex. Overcoming them is only possible through wisdom, resilience, and prudence. Georgia’s voice must be heard clearly, with dignity and responsibility, across every corner of the world to counter the relentless flow of disinformation. A voice of peace and hope for our future!

On this day, we remember with special reverence Sulkhan-Saba Orbeliani, a symbol of Georgian diplomacy. His courage, wisdom, and unwavering loyalty to the homeland centuries ago laid the foundation for the path that you, the diplomats of modern Georgia, continue to honour and uphold today.

I congratulate you on this day and sincerely thank you for your loyalty and dedication! I wish you strength and success, so that you may always proudly defend our homeland’s sovereign interests on the international stage,” wrote Maka Botchorishvili.
