The Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili congratulates Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia Ilia II on his birthday.

“The work of Ilia II is invaluable in strengthening Georgian spirituality and awakening national self-awareness. We are happy that we had the opportunity to receive a lot of necessary advice directly from him to learn to love and respect our neighbour.

I would like to wish him health and longevity, and his homeland many more successes and, above all, the prosperity of Georgia. It will be the appreciation of the greatest merit of His Holiness.

Your Eminence, I congratulate you and wish you a long time to lead the Mother Church of Georgia,” Shalva Papuashvili said.
