Georgian PM: recent communications, including with Rubio, reinforce hope for reset in Georgia-US relations

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze on Monday said that several recent communications, including a conversation with the Secretary of State Marco Rubio, have strengthened the Georgian Government’s belief that a reset in US-Georgia relations is possible.

In his remarks, Kobakhidze noted that his Government feels confident thanks to strong public support and sees positive signs in relations with Washington.

“We feel very strong because we have the public support. As for Georgian-American relations, which worries our opposition very much, we have had several communications, including my communication with Mr. Rubio, and all this keeps our belief alive that a reset in Georgian-American relations is possible”, he said.

The Prime Minister added that the current developments should be observed calmly, while accusing the opposition of being concerned about positive trends.

“This is the current reality. We should calmly wait for further developments. The opposition is nervous about the positive trends. We are pleased with these positive trends”, Kobakhidze concluded.
