Georgian Parliament Speaker Shalva Papuashvili and Georgian Dream’s Foreign Minister Maka Botchorishvili this week held important discussions with foreign ambassadors, seeking to further grow Georgia’s diplomatic relationships and position within the broader international landscape.

On Monday, Papuashvili met with Ashot Smbatyan, the Armenian Ambassador to Georgia, to reaffirm the “historically strong friendship and fruitful cooperation” between their countries. The talks focused on deepening parliamentary ties and addressed significant political developments in both Armenia and Georgia. Notably, the officials highlighted Armenia’s growing interest in strengthening relations with the West, exemplified by its recent signing of the Charter of Strategic Partnership with the United States. The parties agreed that the future of Georgia-US and Armenia-US relations would heavily depend on the policies of the newly elected US President, Donald Trump.

In addition to discussing regional security, the two officials underscored the importance of maintaining peace and stability in the South Caucasus. They also agreed on the need to commemorate the 100th anniversary of the birth of Charles Aznavour, the famous French singer of Armenian descent, who had paternal ties to Georgia.

On Wednesday, Botchorishvili met with Hungarian Ambassador Anna Mária Sikó to discuss strengthening trade, economic, and strategic ties between Georgia and Hungary. The pair reviewed their existing agreements, such as the July 2024 pact on mutual protection and promotion of investments, and highlighted the importance of Hungary’s continued support for Georgia’s European Union integration aspirations.

The ministers also discussed ongoing political developments in Georgia, as well as the role Hungary could play in supporting Georgia’s path to deeper EU engagement. Botchorishvili expressed her gratitude for Hungary’s “unwavering support” of Georgia, emphasizing the close and strategic partnership that continues to grow through high-level exchanges.

Both sets of meetings illustrate Georgia’s ongoing efforts to expand its diplomatic outreach, particularly as the region experiences shifting political dynamics, including the evolving influence of the United States under President Trump.
