We welcome the Eastern Partnership Report unanimously adopted by the European Parliament as an important decision ahead of the upcoming summit and yet another message from the EU in support of Georgia and the partner countries. The recommendations upheld by the European Parliament reflect full support of Georgia's priority issues, such as Georgia's European aspirations and the need to set long-term goals in Georgia-EU relations. Importantly, the European Parliament's report contains clear messages on the sovereignty and territorial integrity of the Eastern Partnership member states, including Georgia, the occupation of Georgia's two regions, and Russia's failure to fulfill its international obligations. The report also calls for enhancing the EU's role in peaceful resolution of conflicts. It is very important that the European Parliament singles out practical support provided for the Eastern Partnership member states, which involves promoting investment projects and SMEs, implementing infrastructural projects, and simplifying education in EU schools for Georgian citizens. I would like to thank our European partners and friends of our country and people for this support.
Giorgi Kvirikashvili
