С сегодняшнего дня граждане Грузии могут путешествовать в Европу без виз

С сегодняшнего утра (вторник, 28 марта) граждане Грузии могут путешествовать в европейские страны Шенгенского соглашения без необходимости получения визы. Этот шаг последовал за долгим процессом, который потребовал от Грузии осуществления ряда реформ и мер, а также сложного процесса одобрения правительствами европейских стран. И, наконец, символический барьер между Грузией и Европой убран.

В Тбилиси и в других городах Грузии по этому поводу прошли торжества, а дружественные европейские правительства направили свои поздравления.

По словам политического редактора Commonspace.eu, "из всех шагов, предпринятых за последние два десятилетия, в процессе сближения Грузии с Европой, этот шаг грузинский народ почувствует на себе наиболее ощутимо и непосредственно. Задержки и унизительные собеседования в консульствах с целью получения шенгенской визы все это уже в прошлом. Вместо этого, имея при себе паспорт и билеты, грузины могут свободно путешествовать по Европе. Это хороший день в истории отношений Грузии и Европы. Благодаря своей политической приверженности, про-европейской политике и реализации трудных реформ, грузинское население заслужило такое право и поздравления по этому случаю".

Chinese leader Xi Jinping welcomed Russian President Vladimir Putin as an “old friend” as the two began a series of meetings Tuesday at a time when their countries face both overlapping and differing challenges from the United States. Relations between China and Russia have deepened in recent years, particularly after the Russian invasion of Ukraine in early 2022. According to AP, Putin addressed Xi as “dear friend” and said that Moscow’s ties with Beijing are “at an unprecedentedly high level.” Following their formal talks, they planned to have another meeting over tea with some of their top aides. The talks come the day after both attended a summit of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization in the nearby Chinese city of Tianjin, and the day before a grand Chinese military parade in Beijing to mark the 80th anniversary of the end of World War II.
