Georgia called NATO membership “permanent goal”

“Full membership in NATO is the country's unchanged goal,” RIA Novosti quoted the Prime Minister as saying.

According to him, Georgia continues to deepen "all active formats of cooperation, participation in peacekeeping missions, strengthening relations with regard to the Black Sea."

According to Gaharia, cooperation on the Black Sea is a new component in relations with NATO.

“Despite the excellent results obtained in recent years, we must continue concentrated work in all formats that exist. Among them are the commission of Georgia and NATO, the annual national program, the existing package of Georgia and NATO, port visits, ”he added.

In early April, NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg announced that the alliance intends to deepen partnership with Ukraine and Georgia "even stronger."

As the Russian leader Vladimir Putin emphasized, those who seek to include Ukraine and Georgia in NATO should think about the consequences of such a policy.
