German Interior Minister confirms Georgia’s safe country status, making asylum for Georgians unlikely

During her first official visit to Georgia, German Federal Minister of the Interior and Community Nancy Faeser unveiled plans for an information awareness campaign aimed at educating Georgian citizens about the limited prospects of being granted asylum in Germany while concurrently continuing initiatives to attract a skilled workforce and specialists.

The German Interior Minister congratulated Georgia on EU candidate status at the joint briefing with Georgian Minister of Internal Affairs Vakhtang Gomelauri, saying it was a very significant decision of the European Council, also backed by Germany.

Nancy Faeser noted she was glad that Germany and Georgia signed an agreement on migration, which intensifies cooperation between the countries and aims to regulate migration by setting restrictions for asylum seekers but contributing to employment and education.

“It is very important that Georgia was granted the status of a safe country. The Bundestag approved this decision,” she said.

Nancy Faeser thanked the Georgian side for cooperation and described the agreement signing as a “fruitful process and a successful project based on mutual respect.”

“Our migration agreement will lead to a reduction in irregular migration in both countries. Thank you very much personally for the good cooperation, including in terms of internal security. Against the backdrop of Russia’s aggressive war against Ukraine, as well as Hamas’ attack on Israel, this fruitful partnership cooperation is crucial,” she said.

The Georgian and German Federal governments signed an agreement on migration and mobility on December 19.

The agreement aims to intensify cooperation against illegal migration and readmission of Georgian citizens who violate the visa-free regime. It also contributes to education, internship, and exchange programs for students and specialists.

Vakhtang Gomelauri remarked that Germany’s putting Georgia on the list of safe countries confirms Georgia is a democratic state where the government ensures the protection of human rights and successfully carries out reforms in response to visa-free travel and challenges.
