The President of Georgia, who is currently in London held a meeting with the Prime Minister of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland – David Cameron.  The Prime Minister once again expressed open support of the territorial integrity and sovereignty of Georgia. During the meeting, Cameron positively assessed the current Georgian reforms, congratulated the President on reaching the agreement regarding the WTO issues and wished him further success.

“Britain and Georgia have good a friendship and close relationship. We fully support the sovereignty and the territorial integrity of Georgia. We also support the integration of your country into NATO. I am impressed by your recent economic and political reforms and the success you have achieved recently. I am glad that British soldiers fight alongside Georgian soldiers in Afghanistan. I would like to note that your soldiers distinguish themselves by extraordinary bravery” – told David Cameron to Mikheil Saakashvili.

The President of Georgia warmly recalled the support of David Cameron for our country during the days of the August war. Mikheil Saakashvili talked about the future relationship of the two countries and expressed hope that the bilateral cooperation will become even deeper.

“First of all, I would like to tell you that you have a special place in the hearts of the Georgian people because you arrived at the exact time when the capital of our country was being bombed. You were an opposition leader back then and you showed amazing leadership qualities. We will never forget the important statement that you made during such hard times for Georgia. The case of Libya has shown us that aside from bureaucracy, Europe has a long history of politics and leadership. We would like to remind everyone that you did an impressive job.  This has had a huge impact for the people of the world and that is exactly why we are grateful to you.  I look forward to deepening of our cooperation and future relationship” – noted the President of Georgia during the meeting at Downing Street.
