Georgia’s Minister of Defence, Irakli Chikovani, on Tuesday participated in the 31st meeting of the Ukraine Defence Contact Group, held in Brussels within the Ramstein format.

The Ministry said the high-level session took place at NATO Headquarters and was co-hosted by German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius and UK Secretary of State for Defence John Healey. The meeting brought together defence ministers and senior officials from NATO member and partner countries.
