“30 years have passed since the establishment of diplomatic relations between Georgia and the United States. The United States was one of the first countries to recognize Georgia's independence. The contribution of the United States to strengthening Georgia, increasing its defense capabilities and economic stability is invaluable,” - the Georgian Foreign Minister, Davit Zalkaliani, stated

“Our main strategic partner plays a tremendous role in recognizing our international role and function. It is noteworthy that during these 30 years, this cooperation developed yearly and reached a qualitatively new level. During these years, we established one of the main frameworks of our relationship – the US-Georgia Strategic Partnership Charter. It includes four main areas of our cooperation: defense and security, economic dimension, building democratic institutions and people-to-people relations. We have made tangible progress in all four areas.

We were by the side of our main strategic partner in the most difficult moments, when he needed the help of partners, I mean the ongoing security operation in Afghanistan.

I am confident that this relationship will last for many years. Especially today, when there is such a serious challenge in the world, the role of the United States is invaluable”, - Zalkaliani stated.
