NATO's highest governing body, the North Atlantic Council, will visit Georgia next month. Speaking at his monthly press conference, the Secretary General of NATO Anders Fogh Rasmussesn said "the purpose of our visit to Georgia will be to discuss with the political leaders in Georgia how we can make further progress when it comes to reforms, and further progress in the relationship between Georgia and NATO. And we will also get an opportunity to meet a broad range of representatives of the Georgian society".
