The United States Embassy published a statement from the U.S. State Department concerning meetings held by State Department representatives with members of the Georgian government during a visit to Georgia.

As the statement notes, a U.S. delegation visited Tbilisi from May 25 to 28 and met with Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze, Vice Prime Ministers Maka Botchorishvili and Mamuka Mdinaradze, and other government representatives to discuss the path forward for improving bilateral relations.

“The delegation conveyed to the Georgian government the Trump Administration’s readiness to engage constructively and in a future-oriented manner, and its interest in opening a new chapter in bilateral relations between sovereign partners: one founded on mutual respect, shared interests, and candid dialogue.

The two sides discussed potential areas of convergence between the United States and Georgia, including: a shared commitment to national sovereignty, a fair economic environment, resilience against harmful external influences, and the fundamental values that define both nations. This convergence provides a solid foundation from which to advance towards a deeper partnership,” the statement reads.

According to the statement, the delegation underscored the United States’ interest in expanding commercial cooperation with Georgia.

“This includes ensuring broader access for American goods and investment, and deepening cooperation in the fields of security and energy. Sustained strategic partnership will require continued progress in establishing the conditions that make Georgia a credible partner, including a business environment favourable to American enterprises and a stable domestic political climate conducive to opposition engagement.

The delegation discussed specific measures that the Georgian government is capable of implementing to help achieve this goal.

The United States looks forward to working with the Georgian government towards a partnership that will deliver tangible benefits to both countries and fully realise the potential of the bilateral relationship,” the statement reads, as published by the U.S. Embassy in Georgia.

The U.S. Embassy has also published a separate statement from the State Department delegation concerning its meeting with the leaders of Georgian opposition parties.
