Foreign Minister Maka Bochorishvili said Georgia still considers the United States a strategic partner and expects a reset in relations under the new U.S. administration.

She stressed the importance of strong U.S.-Georgia ties and noted recent talks with the U.S. Ambassador and State Department officials.

Bochorishvili also criticized the MEGOBARI Act, currently under Senate review, saying it does not reflect the kind of strategic partnership Georgia seeks.

“For us, the MEGOBARI Act is not about friendship. We want a real strategic alliance - not what's described in that bill,” she said.
