The strategic relationship between Georgia and the USA is deeper than such misunderstandings can be. Such a statement made today the Speaker of the Georgian Parliament, while commenting the statement of the US Ambassador to Georgia.

“Visit with reservations does not align with the strategic spirit and friendly relations as we view the United States…

It is regrettable that the U.S. Ambassador made this statement in such an interpretation. The Foreign Ministry responded to it. Visit with reservations does not align with the strategic spirit and friendly relations as we view the United States. We are always ready to speak to the U.S. Ambassador in the country as well as our partners in the United States.

Recently, the Georgian parliamentary delegation visited the U.S. and held meetings in the Congress, Senate and the Department of State.

However, setting preconditions when inviting the Prime Minister for a high-level visit contradicts trust-based friendly relations between our countries”, - said Shalva Papuashvili.
