“Everyone understands the need to engage with Georgia and its leadership, and this is likely why many initiatives have come from European leaders,” Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze told Georgian journalists in Albania, where he is attending the 6th Summit of the European Political Community.

According to Kobakhidze, Georgia plays a vital role for Europe, particularly the European Union.

“There was a period of limited communication, as you know, and it seems our European partners were eager to restore ties with Georgia. Everyone should recognise Georgia’s strategic importance for Europe, especially for the Eurozone. Our role in the region is significant, and that’s why the need for dialogue with Georgian leaders is increasingly acknowledged,” he said.

The Prime Minister is attending the summit alongside Foreign Minister Maka Botchorishvili and Chief of Government Administration Levan Zhorzholiani.
