During his speech, Maghradze made clear that Georgia resolutely opposes terrorism in all its forms and manifestations. He emphasised that the country remains actively engaged with international and regional organisations, as well as allied nations, to neutralise threats stemming from global terrorism. Furthermore, in alignment with the UN Global Counter-Terrorism Strategy, Georgia continues to implement rigorous measures to enhance national readiness and resilience against terrorist activity.
