PM: Georgia remains committed to its European integration path

“For centuries, our faith has influenced our values, culture and moral outlook. Faith has provided strength and guidance for generations, helping our nation endure challenges and preserve its identity through difficult periods of history,” said Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze addressing the Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) in Budapest, Hungary.

According to the PM, Christianity is an integral part of Georgia’s history.

“Christianity has been an integral part of Georgia’s history and this year we mark the 1700th anniversary of its proclamation as the state religion – a defining moment that shaped our nation’s spiritual and cultural development.

For centuries, our faith has influenced our values, culture and moral outlook. Faith has provided strength and guidance for generations, helping our nation endure challenges and preserve its identity through difficult periods of history.

The Christian cultural foundation remains central to who we are as a society. Throughout history, our ancestors looked toward Europe as a space where their Christian identity could be safeguarded. Therefore, Georgia remains committed to its European integration path, but we pursue this path with dignity – with full respect for our heritage, faith, independence and sovereignty, which is a very difficult task.

We sincerely hope that Europe will regain its sovereignty, Christian identity and economic strength before Georgia becomes a member of the European Union,” he said.
