Washington has invited Foreign Minister Ilia Darchiashvili to attend the NATO summit from Georgia, Department of State Spokesperson Matthew Miller told the Voice of America media outlet.
The Department of State confirmed to Voice of America that an official invitation had been sent from Washington to Tbilisi for Ilia Darchiashvili.
“Are Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze and Defense Minister Irakli Chikovani invited to Washington to attend the summit?” Miller was asked. He replied: “like other countries participating in the Partnership for Peace [program], the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Georgia is invited to participate in certain accompanying events.”
When asked whether the Department of State had received a confirmation from Official Tbilisi that a representative of the Georgian government will attend the summit, Miller directed the journalist to ask the Georgian government directly.
“We call on the Georgian Dream government to quickly take steps to return Georgia to the Euro-Atlantic path, as its people want, and as it is indicated in the constitution,” Miller said.
