Louis L. Bono has been appointed as US Senior Advisor for Caucasus Negotiations, replacing Philip Reeker.
US Secretary of State, Antony Blinken, said Louis Bono would work with regional leaders to advance the peace process between Armenia and Azerbaijan and to address Russia’s ongoing occupation of sovereign Georgian territory.
“His appointment also reaffirms the importance the United States places on Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, and the role of the Geneva International Discussions on Georgia, the only international format addressing Russia’s ongoing occupation of 20 percent of Georgia’s territory,” Blinken stated.
Louis Bono served as Acting Representative to the International Atomic Energy Agency and the United Nations Offices in Vienna.
