I had the great honour to meet His Holiness Shio III, the Patriarch of The Georgian Orthodox Church to discuss spiritual, cultural and educational links between Georgia 🇬🇪 and the UK 🇬🇧.

[Gareth Ward @GarethWardUK]

I found today’s oath taking service at Freedom Square very moving. The Georgian Defence Forces are proud guardians of sovereignty and independence. So I was pleased to pass on His Majesty The King’s message of congratulations.

[Archbishop of Canterbury @ArchbishopSarah]

It is with continued sorrow that we remember His Holiness Ilia II, Catholicos-Patriarch of All Georgia, on the eve of his funeral.

I assure the Hierarchs and faithful of the Georgian Orthodox Church, and the people of Georgia, of my prayers at this time of mourning. I have written privately to the Chancellor to convey my condolences on behalf of the Church of England.

I am grateful that the Right Reverend David Hamid will represent me and the Church of England at the funeral, as we stand in prayerful solidarity with all who grieve.

May the Lord grant him rest and let light perpetual shine upon him.

[UK Delegation to the OSCE @UKOSCE]

We remain concerned by the deteriorating #HumanRights situation in Georgia. Today 24 @OSCE States invoked the #MoscowMechanism to launch an expert mission. Its independent assessment will establish facts and offer recommendations.
