Tbilisi Mayor: Nauru made correct and significant decision, driven by proactive work of Georgian Foreign Ministry

According to Kakha Kaladze, Mayor of Tbilisi, Nauru’s decision to withdraw its recognition of the independence of occupied Abkhazia and the Tskhinvali region represents a correct and significant step.

As Kaladze told journalists, one of the primary and most critical priorities of the Georgian authorities is the recovery of the occupied territories and peaceful coexistence with Abkhazians and Ossetians.

“I believe it was a correct and significant decision. This outcome has been brought about by our Ministry of Foreign Affairs working actively across absolutely every avenue. Everyone understands full well how crucial our nation’s sovereignty and territorial integrity are domestically. Naturally, it remains vital that work in this direction continues internationally. Regrettably, it must be noted that a part of our territory remains occupied and continues to pose a severe challenge. One of our primary and most vital priorities is to do everything within our power to recover these territories and achieve peaceful coexistence with Abkhazians and Ossetians. The Georgian Government is doing everything possible to achieve this,” stated Kakha Kaladze.

According to a statement from the Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia, on July 21, 2026, the executive branch of the Republic of Nauru, the Cabinet of Nauru, adopted a decision to sever diplomatic relations between “the Republic of Nauru and the Republic of South Ossetia, also known as the State of Alania” and between “the Republic of Nauru and the Republic of Abkhazia”.
