К встрече с Путиным готов. Премьер-министр Грузии Ираклий Гарибашвили говорит, что Грузия должна разобраться со своими отношениями с Россией, но встреча с Путиным потребует большой подготовки.

Спустя три месяца прибывания на посту премьер-министра грузинский лидер Ираклий Гарибашвили заявил, что готов встретиться с российским руководством, чтобы разрешить нерешенные проблемы Грузии с ее большим соседом. Отношения с Россией ложились тенью на  действия всех грузинских правительств с момента обретения независимости в 1991 году.

В интервью телеканалу "Имеди" Гарибашвили прокомментировал заявление, сделанное президентом Путиным в кулуарах Олимпиады в Сочи о том, что он готов к встрече с грузинским лидером. В ответ Гарибашвили сказал: "Если вы спросите меня о готовности, в качестве главы правительства Грузии, я подтверждаю, что ​​готов к прямому диалогу; правительство Грузии также выступает за такой диалог с российским руководством. Формат встречи, или когда и где такая встреча может состояться - я бы не стал говорить об этом сейчас, но хочу заявить, что мы к этому готовы."

Однако, Гарибашвили также напомнил, что у Грузии "большие проблемы с Россией", и что встреча между лидерами двух стран должна быть хорошо подготовлена. Гарибашвили также дал понять, что западные страны советуют грузинскому руководству активизировать диалог с Россией.

Грузия разорвала дипломатические отношения с Россией после признания последней независимости Абхазии и Южной Осетии после грузино-российской войны в 2008 году.

Turkiye to host COP31 in 2026

A consensus has emerged during COP 30, currently being held in Belan, Brazil, that COP 31 will be held in the Turkish city of Antalya, in 2026. In 2026 Turkiye will host another global event, the NATO leaders summit. Turkiye is set to host COP31 after reaching compromise with Australia.  The COP31 climate meeting is now expected to be held in Turkey after Australia dropped its bid to host the annual event. Under the UN rules, the right to host the COP in 2026 falls to a group of countries made up of Western Europe, Australia and others. A consensus must be reached but neither country had been willing to concede. Australia has now agreed to support the Turkish bid in return for their minister chairing the talks following negotiations at COP30, currently being held in Brazil. This unusual arrangement has taken observers by surprise. It is normal for a COP president to be from the host country and how this new partnership will work in practice remains to be seen. Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese has called the compromise with Turkey an "outstanding result" in an interview with the Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC), noting Pacific issues would be "front and centre". He added that he had spoken to Papua New Guinea Prime Minister James Marape and Prime Minister Rabuka of Fiji. There will be relief among countries currently meeting at COP30 in the Brazilian city of Belém that a compromise has been reached as the lack of agreement on the venue was becoming an embarrassment for the UN.
