I am very glad to be in Georgia. This is not my first visit to your country. I am well aware of the challenges Georgia is facing now and we pride ourselves on the fact that we contribute to the process of defining the future of your country. Our intense work in the defense area that represents one of the cornerstone components of strategic partnership is noteworthy. I am glad to be visiting Georgia prior to the Warsaw NATO Summit, since I realize that becoming a member of the Alliance is one of your top priorities. We respect the reforms that you've been instituting, the efforts you are making to make sure your election is as fair and accountable and transparent as possible - since it carries particular importance in view of development of the country. Thank you for your hospitality!" - the US Secretary of State John Kerry noted before his meeting with Prime Minister of Georgia.
