The Chairman of the European Integration Committee, Maka Bochorishvili, and the First Deputy Chairman of the European Integration Committee, Levan Karumidze, held meetings in Strasbourg within the framework of the European Parliament plenary session.
According to the Parliament's press office, Georgian legislators from various political groups met with members of the European Parliament, including the co-chairman of the Georgia-EU Parliamentary Committee, the rapporteur of the European Parliament on the issue of Georgia, and members of the Foreign Affairs Committee.
"The current issues of Georgia-EU cooperation, the agenda of Georgia's integration within the EU enlargement policy, the significance of Georgia in Europe's geopolitical perspective, the role of the European Parliament, and the expected outcomes of the elections scheduled for this year in Georgia were among the topics to be discussed.
It should be noted that two reports on the common foreign security policy and defense of the European Union were prepared in the European Parliament. These reports outline support for Georgia's European integration and strongly condemn Russia's current occupation of the Abkhazia and Tskhinvali regions of Georgia.
During the visit to Strasbourg, more than 17 meetings were held in the European Parliament, with the participation of Vakhtang Makharoblishvili, the head of the Georgian representation to the European Union and the ambassador of Georgia to the Kingdom of Belgium and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg," the statement reads.
