Heritage Foundation: NATO Summit 2021-Time to support Loyal Ally Georgia

The Heritage Foundation published an article NATO Summit 2021: Time to Support Loyal Ally Georgia. Author of the article Like Coffey names 3 main reasons why the Alliance should intensify relations with Georgia.

1. Located in a geopolitically important region, Georgia is a solid partner for NATO, with a defense transformation program that is an example to the entire Alliance.
2. Even after Russian invasion, Georgia has not wavered from building stronger relationships with the West, making it a key contributor to transatlantic security.
3. The 2021 NATO Summit provides the Alliance with a perfect opportunity to strengthen its relationship with Tbilisi and keep Georgia on the path toward membership.

“Georgia is an important partner to the U.S. and NATO, and it has proven its commitment to the transatlantic relationship. It is located in a dangerous and important geopolitical neighborhood for NATO, and Georgians have proven themselves to be gallant in combat.

Georgia is also undertaking a defense transformation program that is an example to all of NATO. The 2021 Brussels Summit provides the Alliance with a perfect opportunity to strengthen its relationship with Tbilisi and keep Georgia on the path toward membership,” Luke Coffey claims.
