MP Aluda Gudushauri: Czech visit will strengthen bilateral ties

“A visit to the Czech Republic will serve to further strengthen relations between the two nations, and reinforce the principle that the rules of engagement with the EU must remain fair,” MP Aluda Gudushauri has declared.

Gudushauri, First Deputy Chair of the Georgian Parliament’s Human Rights and Civil Integration Committee, made the remarks as a Georgian parliamentary delegation prepared to travel to Prague.

“This visit will further consolidate relations between our two countries. Above all, in a world full of challenges, it is vital to reinforce close contacts with a partner such as the Czech Republic. I am confident that this official visit will yield concrete results and deepen the bonds between our peoples,” Gudushauri stated.

He added that discussions during the visit would focus heavily on global challenges and Georgia’s current trajectory towards European Integration.

“We will be discussing the concrete steps Georgia is taking regarding its relations with the European Union. We will stress our position that there must be a level playing field. Naturally, we will discuss the progress our country has achieved; we are at the forefront in several key areas. We will emphasise the need for a fair approach and common rules of engagement. I am confident that we will receive appropriate support for this from the Czech side,” Gudushauri said.

The delegation, led by Speaker of the Georgian Parliament Shalva Papuashvili, travelled to Prague at the official invitation of the Chairman of the Chamber of Deputies of the Parliament of the Czech Republic, Tomio Okamura.
