“We are here to communicate that we are partners with the people of Georgia in that great undertaking, particularly, in this region of the world with rising voices of authoritarianism that are putting pressure on other regional partners,” Peter Roskam stated at the Training Center.

“This visit today is also to learn more deeply about the nature of the close ties between the Georgian military and the United States military, to also show our respect and commitment for Georgia’s decision to do everything it can within the larger scheme of things as it relates to NATO and so forth, to do everything it can in its own defense,” Civil.ge cited him as saying.

As part of their visit, the US delegation also met with the Georgian Prime Minister Giorgi Kvirikashvili, the Parliamentary Chairman Irakli Kobakhidze and other MPs to discuss legislative challenges and current issues in Georgia.
