Federica Mogherini, the European Union (EU) High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy and Vice President of the European Commission, is in Tbilisi on her first official visit to Georgia.

She is expected to meet President Giorgi Margvelashvili, Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili, Foreign Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili, Parliament Speaker David Usupashvili, leaders of the Parliamentary factions and civil society representatives and take part in the international high-level conference Achieving Gender Equality held in Georgia's capital Tbilisi.

Mogherini will also pay a visit with the EU Monitoring Mission Georgia to the Administrative Boundary Line (ABL) that separates Georgia's breakaway South Ossetia region from the rest of the country. Also, as some media oulets report, one of the key issues discussed during her visit will be developments around Rustavi 2 television station and media pluralism.

China shows strength and resolve

A massive military parade in Beijing, a tough speech by leader Xi Jinping, and an audience led by the leaders of like minded countries, including Russia, Iran and North Korea, was how China on Wednesday, 3 September, marked the 80th anniversary of its victory over Japan in WWII. President Xi welcomed North Korea’s Kim Jong Un with a long handshake, then moved on to greet Russia’s Vladimir Putin before all three walked together to watch the parade. This event was not just a display of troops and weapons  but also of friends and allies. This was the first time all three leaders have been seen in public together. The parade was a choreographed spectacle of precision, power and patriotism.  The choir stood in perfectly even rows, the troops goose stepped past in unison and each strike of the ground echoed through the stands of 50,000 guests in Tiananmen Square.  In his address, Xi called on Chinese people to remember the victory in WWII.  He added "humanity rises and falls together" and that China is "never intimidated by bullies."
