Zaal Udumashvili: It would be better if Pompeo will hear from opposition about Georgia's current situation

“Secretary of State Mike Pompeo’s visit is very important as when such a high-ranking diplomat arrives in the country, he arrives with specific messages,” said one of the leaders of the United National Movement (UNM), Zaal Udumashvili.

As Udumashvili noted, “Pompeo’s visit is especially important now when there is a tough political crisis in the country.”

“So far, I have read that there are meetings planned with the government, but when such a high-ranking diplomat arrives here, it would be better if Pompeo will hear directly from the opposition about the ongoing developments in the country,” said Udumashvili.

U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo will visit Georgia on November 17-18. During his visit, Pompeo will meet with President Zurabishvili, Prime Minister Gakharia, and Foreign Minister Zalkaliani. He will also meet with the Patriarch of the Georgian Orthodox Church, His Holiness Ilia II.
