“At the NGC sitting, from the representatives of every member state, we heard supportive words for the territorial integrity, sovereignty and NATO aspiration of Georgia, thus reaffirming the NATO open door policy and that Georgia will soon access NATO. It is important that soon Madrid will host the NATO Summit with an agenda including the new strategy of NATO, in the development of which Georgia takes its place. They offered us the opportunity to introduce our proposals. I believe this strategy will be crucial to reflecting the Black Sea security issues, the membership of the aspirant states and countries, and to reaffirm our perspectives and messages,” Papuashvili stated.
