Robin Dunnigan, nominee for Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Georgia, stated that if appointed, she will work with the government and people of Georgia to help realize their desire for integration with the European Union and NATO.
“Georgia has made significant progress over the past 30 years, but some worrying developments show that there is still much to be done. The EU has provided Georgia with a road map of reforms it must complete this year to obtain EU candidate status. If approved, I look forward to supporting Georgia in implementing these reforms,” she said.
Dunnigan noted that her final priority will be advocacy of Georgia’s sovereignty and territorial integrity.
“I am committed to working with Georgia and our international partners to ensure Russia fulfills its obligations under the 2008 ceasefire agreement and the UN Charter. Our partnership has benefited both the people of Georgia and the US for the past 30 years. Georgia has been a staunch NATO partner for peace since 1994 and has been the largest non-NATO contributor of forces in Afghanistan, next to US troops,” stated Dunnigan.
