Georgia’s PM: Many European leaders take a pragmatic view of ties with Georgia, which we hope will shape Europe’s wider stance

“There are many leaders in Europe who take a sound view of relations with Georgia; something we see firsthand whenever we have the opportunity for bilateral discussions with specific counterparts, and there are quite a few such political leaders,” Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze told journalists in Dublin.

The head of government expressed hope that these sentiments will ultimately be reflected in Europe’s broader attitude toward Georgia.

“There are many leaders in Europe who take a sound view of relations with Georgia. We become convinced of this whenever we have the chance to hold bilateral talks with specific leaders, and there are quite a few such political figures across various countries. We hope that all of this will eventually be reflected in Europe’s overall attitude toward Georgia. We are patiently awaiting developments in the right and better direction,” Kobakhidze said.
