“Latvia is a strong supporter of Georgia on the way to European integration, for which we thank you. Today, as we embark on an important milestone on this journey, preparing for candidate status, supporting our partners, ally countries is especially important. 

I would like to specify that we have made progress in fulfilling the obligations agreed upon by the association as well as implementing reforms and will do everything possible to show this progress to everyone,” Otar Shamugia said.
