Today, I addressed the 80th session of the United Nations General Assembly.

In my remarks, I emphasized that I represent a country with a history spanning three millennia, one of the world’s oldest civilizations, and a brave Georgian people, full of pride and dignity. Georgia possesses a unique alphabet, the world’s oldest language, and a seventeen-century-long Christian tradition. I stressed that I represent a nation that understands both the cost of war and the value of freedom and peace - a people who cherish their rich history and traditions while confronting and addressing the challenges our country faces.

At the UN General Assembly, I underscored that despite the many challenges surrounding us, we have managed to ensure the security of our people. The fundamental philosophy of the Georgian government remains the preservation of peace, and at all costs, shielding our citizens from the ravages of war.

As I noted in my speech, Georgia continues to express firm and unwavering support for the Ukrainian people. Recognizing the profound importance of peace, Georgia contributes to the transformation of the South Caucasus region, striving to turn it from a region of conflict into a space for dialogue between civilizations and economic prosperity. I welcomed President Donald Trump’s peace initiative between Armenia and Azerbaijan, as well as his efforts to bring an end to the bloodshed in the Russia-Ukraine war.

I highlighted Georgia’s significant role in the development of the Middle Corridor strategic route and reaffirmed our commitment to making this corridor the safest, most reliable, and most stable connection between East and West.

During my remarks at the 80th session of the UN General Assembly, I stressed that Georgia’s objective is to foster constructive relations based on mutual respect and mutual benefit with major economies, including the United States, China, the European Union, and others. We remain open to dialogue and cooperation, but we also demand respect, fairness, and dignified approach. What the Georgian people will never accept is communication through ultimatums, blackmail, or intimidation.

I addressed our Abkhaz and Ossetian brothers and sisters, affirming that our cultural code remains unchanged. For us, diversity is not a problem, but a fundamental form of existence. Therefore, we will always meet our fellow citizens on the other side of the occupation line with open hearts and open hands. It is our duty, through joint efforts, to overcome artificially imposed obstacles, rebuild broken bridges, and consign past grievances to history, as a people distinguished by patience and resilience.

In conclusion, I reaffirmed that Georgia is ready and open, in line with its national interests, to engage in dialogue on issues of global and regional significance with all parties.

I had the opportunity to meet with European Council President Charles Michel during the 5th European Political Community Summit. We discussed Georgia-EU relations. I reaffirmed my government’s commitment to European integration and emphasized the importance of partner support and a fair approach in this process. We also addressed recent developments in Georgia, and I reiterated our readiness for open and sincere dialogue.

[Irakli Kobakhidze @PM_Kobakhidze]

Pleased to address GA at the 79th Session of the UNGA, great opportunity to speak on issues of both national and global concern in order to raise the awareness of the global audience on how Georgia contributes to achieving strategic objectives outlined in New Agenda for Peace, set out by the UN Secretary General.
Stressed Georgia’s strategic location, serving as a natural bridge between Europe and Asia, placing Georgia on the shortest route between East and West. Georgia has a great potential to ensure safe flow of goods and services across the continents as it remains a safe and economically stable democracy in the region.
Georgia has proven its ability to contribute to the global peace and security and we remain committed to the rules based international order to ensure safety and prosperity for our region and beyond.

❗️ 16 years have passed since Russia's invasion of Georgia. Even today, #Abkhazia and #Tskhinvali, 2 indivisible regions of our country, remain under occupation.
Today, we honor the courage of those who defended our nation.
❗️Georgia stands committed to the peaceful resolution of the conflict.

I congratulate Independence Day to each Georgian, each citizen of our country, celebrating the main day of the nation within the country or beyond its borders.

Our Georgian dream is to live in a united and strong Georgia by 2030 together with our Abkhaz and Ossetian brothers and sisters. United and strong Georgia should become a fully-fledged member of the European family in 2030!

[Irakli Kobakhidze @PM_Kobakhidze]

The European Council has decided to open accession negotiations with Ukraine & Moldova.

#EUCO granted candidate status to Georgia. And the EU will open negotiations with Bosnia and Herzegovina once the necessary degree of compliance with the membership criteria is reached and has invited the commission to report by March with a view to taking such a decision.

A clear signal of hope for their people and for our continent.
