NATO chief reiterates support for Georgia

NATO will “recognize the progress Georgia is making” at a summit in Warsaw in July, said Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg on Wednesday.

“[We] will reiterate our strong commitment both to provide strong political support to Georgia, but also to provide practical support to Georgia, working with Georgia to implement reforms, build institutions and to enhance Georgia’s ability to modernize its armed forces,” he said at a news conference just before a meeting of NATO foreign ministers.

A full meeting of heads of state and heads of government of NATO member countries takes place every two years. The summit in the Polish capital is taking place July 8-9.

“We will continue to defend Georgia’s right to make its own decisions and we will continue to work on reforms and help Georgia moving towards NATO membership,” Stoltenberg said.
