Georgian PM claims end of Ukraine war will improve relations with partners

Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze on Tuesday expressed optimism that the conclusion of the war in Ukraine would “significantly
improve” relations between Georgia and its international partners.

Speaking at a conference hosted by a business association, Kobakhidze highlighted the end of the conflict in Ukraine could pave the way for a “stronger and positive interaction” with foreign allies, which he noted was “crucial” for the country’s economic development.

During his speech, Kobakhidze also emphasized the “current stability” of the Georgian government, citing sociological studies that he claimed show a “historic confidence level of 60 percent” in the administration, the “highest since 2012”.

He described this level of public trust as a “critical factor” that would ensure the “stable development” of the country’s processes. The Prime Minister also stressed the importance of maintaining this stability, particularly as the nation approaches parliamentary elections in about six weeks.
