Georgian Defence Ministry says updated Substantial NATO-Georgia Package to bring Georgia closer to NATO

The Substantial NATO-Georgia Package (SNGP) has been updated at the meeting of NATO Ministers of Foreign Affairs on Wednesday, said Georgian Defence Ministry in a statement.

The Ministry says the Updated Substantial NATO-Georgia Package will further enhance Georgia’s defence and security capabilities, strengthen sustainability, enhance compatibility with NATO, and further facilitate Georgia’s preparation process to join the Alliance.

NATO Secretary-General Jens Stoltenberg stated at a news conference after the meeting of NATO Foreign Ministers that NATO member states confirmed they are looking for different ways to strengthen their support for Georgia at a practical level by approving the updated SNGP.

The Substantial NATO-Georgia Package (SNGP) is a set of initiatives endorsed at the September 2014 Wales Summit, aimed at strengthening Georgia’s defence capabilities and developing closer security cooperation and interoperability with NATO Members.
