The Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze extended his congratulations to Mikheil Kavelashvili on his appointment as the President of Georgia, emphasizing his confidence in Kavelashvili's ability to serve the nation with honor and dedication.

“I would like to congratulate Mikheil Kavelashvili on assuming the position of President of Georgia. He is a worthy and patriotic individual, and I am confident that he will serve his country with dignity in this crucial role over the next five years,” the Prime Minister stated.

Kobakhidze further highlighted the significance of this appointment, noting that Georgia has not had a president embodying patriotic values for over two decades. He underscored the importance of Kavelashvili's leadership in establishing a new tradition of patriotic presidency after this prolonged gap.

“The challenges ahead are significant,” Kobakhidze remarked. “For more than 20 years, this country has not had a patriotic president. Mikheil Kavelashvili has the responsibility to establish a new tradition. It is a great responsibility, but I am confident he will handle it excellently.”
