Norwegian Minister of Foreign Affairs Anniken Huitfeldt on Monday reaffirmed Norway’s support for Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity and the country’s Euro-Atlantic and European aspirations.

During a joint press point with her Georgian colleague Ilia Darchiashvili, Anniken Huitfeldt called on Russia to fulfil the 2008 six-point ceasefire agreement.

She said Russia’s continuing occupation of Abkhazia and South Ossetia is violating international law. “The Russian policy of the borderization, the obstructions and the arrests are completely unacceptable.”

“During our meeting, we discussed a wide range of issues, including the prospects of strengthening bilateral cooperation, tourism and trade. We also discussed the regional, geopolitical and security context, as well as the situation in the occupied territories of Georgia,” the Norwegian FM Minister said.

Anniken Huitfeldt has begun a four-day visit to Georgia and Armenia today.
