Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Garibashvili on Monday highlighted the Global Peace Index showed the country ranked second in the world with the ten-year progress in peacefulness, and credited this achievement with the “correct policy” of the former Prime Minister Bidzina Ivanishvili and the ruling Georgian Dream team.
According to Global Peace 2022, Georgia ranks second in the world with the ten-year progress in peacefulness. And according to the complete historical improvement of the index, Georgia ranked first. This is also a serious recognition”, Garibashvili said.
The head of the Government noted the Index included 163 countries and being ranked second was a recognition of the “correct, reasonable and national” policy pursued by the Georgian Government over the past ten years “to protect our people and their interests”.
For comparison, I would like to recall that in 2012 [before the ruling Georgian Dream party came to power] our country ranked 140th among 163 countries. We have progressed so much, and it is the result of the correct policy of Bidzina Ivanishvili and our team”, he concluded in his comments.
Global Peace Index is a report produced by the Institute for Economics and Peace, which measures the relative position of nations' and regions' peacefulness.
