Georgian PM outlines EU integration plan, pledges progress on Association Agreement obligations

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze on Friday reiterated his Government’s commitment to European integration, setting a target to fulfil over 90 percent of the EU Association Agreement obligations by 2028.

In his address at the Parliament, Kobakhidze noted that fulfilling the Association Agreement was not only a technical requirement but a foundational step toward achieving full EU membership by 2030.

“We have a specific goal set - by 2028, we aim to have fulfilled over 90 percent of the obligations under the Association Agreement. We will actively continue working on this, which must be done through active communication between the Government and Parliament”, the PM said.

“In the near future, we also plan to convene the relevant Government commission. This is one of the priorities. Our goal is to become a member of the European Union by 2030, and one of the main directions in this regard is, naturally, fulfilling the obligations outlined in the Association Agreement. We will work together in this direction, and we are fully prepared on our part”, he concluded.
