Four ships of the Standing NATO Maritime Group Two (SNMG2) entered the port of Poti, the press service of Georgia's Interior Ministry reported.
"The warships of the Standing NATO Maritime Group Two and two Georgian coast guard ships - the Dioskuria and the Ochamchira - will hold joint drills. The exercises aim to enhance cohesion and interoperability between Georgia and the NATO naval forces," TASS cited the press office as saying.
The NATO naval group includes the Dutch flagship Evertsen, and also ships from Turkey, Bulgaria and Romania. The naval group is directed by SNMG2 Commander Boudewijn Boots.
The ships will stay in Georgia’s territorial waters until April 4.
