"You may well be aware that our team in the government has always focused on the human rights since 2012 and it all started under the guidance of Bidzina Ivanishvili then the Prime Minister of Georgia. We started work on a long-term Strategy on Human rights in 2013, which was fully executed and incorporated in the implementation of each reform. This year we will start work on a new stage of a long-term Strategy on Human Rights, which will be of paramount importance and we will be using every possible platform both domestically and from overseas when developing it. This is the most important format of a joint endeavor and I call upon every one of you to take active part in it within the scope of your competences" announced the Prime Minister of Georgia.
Head of Government of Georgia thereby touched upon a Donor Coordination Forum held in Tbilisi last week and noted that cooperation with international partners is important for the Government of Georgia, especially in the implementation of reforms.

All of these directions were discussed in detail at the Donor Coordination Conference and we got full support of our international partners towards reforms to be implemented in these areas" concluded the Prime Minister of Georgia.
