Some people are trying to make a strategic partnership part of the political process, but strategic partnership between Georgia and the U.S. stands above all kinds of political and party interests. Such a statement made the Prime Minister of Georgia, while commenting about the approval of US National Defense Authorization Act for 2021 by the U.S. Senate.

“We are pleased that the Secretary of State will assess the democratization process in Georgia. This is in our interests. Whatever the question marks, we feel comfortable with that, because from the point of freedom of expression, media pluralism, development of institutions to the electoral system in Georgia, democratization will not be threatened by anything and nothing due to a simple reason – Georgian citizens felt the price of freedom and justice and no one can return it”, - said Giorgi Gakharia.

He added that the partnership between the United States and Georgia is deepening.

“We are talking about areas like defense, security, democratization, education. Of course, an individual friend of ours from the US, be it a congressman or a senator, may have some questions. As friends of Georgia, they have the right to ask this question, just as we have the right to answer them. It is bad that due to the political process, without considering the interests of the country, some people try to make this strategic partnership part of the political process”, - concluded the Head of the Government.
