Georgian delegation headed by Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili left for Spain to take part in the NATO Madrid Summit. The PM received the invitation from the NATO Secretary-General, Jens Stoltenberg.

“We expect that the progress our country has made over the years will be assessed and recognized,” Garibashvili told the government on June 27. Georgian PM will hold high-level meetings with European leaders within the framework of the NATO Summit.

“I will have high-level meetings with our European leaders, and I believe our country has made substantial progress in terms of NATO integration. We, together with NATO, have opened a joint training centre in Krtsanisi, and I think the country has done everything to increase the compatibility of our troops. We are strengthening and actively reforming the army. The transformation and reform process is ongoing, and we will keep up these dynamics for our country to move towards peace,” Garibashvili said.

The Georgian delegation includes Foreign Minister Ilia Darchiashvili, Defense Minister Juansher Burchuladze and Head of the Governmental Administration Revaz Javelidze.
