“My message to the government of Georgia is that if we can start speaking about the same dialogue, the same language recognize our mutual interests in the security of this region and the security of the Euro-Atlantic community, then I think we can move the dialogue forward,” said Kevin Hamilton, ​the NATO Secretary General’s Special Representative for the Caucasus and Central Asia, in an interview with the GPB’s First Channel.

Kevin Hamilton responded to the question: “Yesterday you had a meeting with the Minister of Foreign Affairs, today you are meeting with the Head of the Defence Ministry, what is your main message to them?”

“NATO and Georgia have had over three decades of a very positive political and practical cooperation. For Georgia, my goal is to continue that practical cooperation and explore ways that we could perhaps elevate the political dialogue. Over the past couple of years, that dialogue has been a little more restrained, a little more downgraded.

My message to the government of Georgia is that if we can start speaking about the same dialogue, the same language, recognize our mutual interests in the security of this region and the security of the Euro-Atlantic community, then I think we can move the dialogue forward,” he said.
