The meeting between the Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Garibashvili and the Secretary General of NATO Jens Stoltenberg ended at the Brussels Summit.

“It is vital that the work on judiciary reform, media freedom and accountability of the security sector continues.

I also encourage you to work with the opposition to resolve political differences and reduce polarizing rhetoric and actions.

NATO expects Georgia to uphold the democratic standards that it has worked so hard to develop in recent years.

So Prime Minister once again, welcome it"s great to have you here. Great to have this great partnership between Georgia and NATO.

And let me also thank you for the efforts Georgia made for so many years in Afghanistan, contributing to our efforts to fight international terrorism, and also helping to evacuate 1000s of people out of Afghanistan in August this year.

And our mission in Afghanistan was not in vain. We went in to fight international terrorism and since 9/11 there has been no terrorist attack organized from Afghanistan against our countries.

And we continue to stand together in preventing Afghanistan becoming a safe haven for international terrorists.

So that demonstrates that the partnership between Georgia and NATO is a two way street.

We support each other and we are extremely grateful for the support you have provided to different NATO missions and operations over the years”, - said Jens Stoltenberg.
