The ruling party “Georgian Dream” does not feed the illusions that the activities of the Donald Trump administration will begin with Georgia and that Georgia will become a matter of number one that will be engaged in the White House at Trump. This was stated by the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Georgia MAK Bochorishvili, local media reports.
According to her, the work “in the direction of rebooting relations with the United States, which are complicated at this stage, will be a lot.” “However, the work will be much more in these conditions, when relations are spoiled to such an extent and when they are even more trying to spoil them. Not only in relations with the United States, we observe the same attempts to influence Europe, in relations with the European Union, and this is a rather complicated relationship , for the restoration of which time and energy are required, ”the minister’s words are given.
The diplomat noted that in such conditions, within the framework of the “strategic patience policy”, it is necessary to protect relations with the United States and the EU from “harmful influence”. “This is our policy of patience and voicing a fewer statements to protect these relations from even greater harm, and only then – our desire to establish relations with our strategic partner at the right time, namely, the strategic partnership, which will be filled with content, and not will have just a name, ”she explained.
Bochorishvili noted that “behind this strategic partnership is the story that Georgia has made its very valuable contribution.” “Everyone remembers our participation in missions, and this is what should not be forgotten, because this was the very important component of strategic partnership,” said the Foreign Minister.
