Georgian Dream Secretary General Kakha Kaladze responded to the resignation of U.S. Ambassador Robin Dunnigan, calling her departure unexpected and questioning the circumstances.
“The ambassador’s departure was a bit of a surprise. Of course, there are many questions about her departure,” Kaladze said.
He used the opportunity to call for a reset in U.S.-Georgian relations, pointing out the importance of mutual respect and strategic partnership.
“The Georgian government is ready to reset relations. The most important thing for us is strategic partnership and friendship with the United States, and all this should be mutual,” Kaladze noted.
He further accused specific yet unnamed figures who he claimed distorted information provided to the U.S. administration. “There were people in this process who were preventing all this, doing everything they could to provide the administration with incorrect information, but I am sure that everything will change radically.”
Kaladze also expressed support for President Donald Trump, agreeing with his political priorities. “President Trump has set important priorities, defeating the ‘deep state,’ ending the war which we welcome and support Donald Trump,” he added.
