“The UNM and Joe Wilson have one and the same patron. They receive instructions from the people who rule them. Therefore, their synchronized statements are logical,” Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze told Georgian reporters in Kyrgyzstan.

According to Kobakhidze, both Georgia and the U.S. pursue deepening relations with China, and Congressman Joe Wilson, who represents the ruling party, attacks Georgia for its relations with China.

“This is the influence which we call the Global War Party and the Deep State in the U.S. In connection with messages about China, Georgia and the U.S. pursue deepening relations with China. Meanwhile, Joe Wilson, who represents the ruling party, attacks Georgia for its relations with China, and this is illogical, which can be explained by his receiving instructions directed against the interests of our people, our national interests. Therefore, just as Joe Wilson’s statements had no special value before, they will not in the future,” he said.
