Mesdames, Messieurs les Ministres,
Mesdames, Messieurs les Ambassadeurs,
Mesdames et Messieurs,
Bienvenue à cette réunion de la Commission OTAN Géorgie. Aujourd’hui, nous accueillons plus spécialement Madame Panjikidzé, ministre des Affaires étrangères de la Géorgie. Madame Panjikidzé se joint à nous pour la première fois depuis sa nomination, après les élections tenues en octobre dans son pays.
La Géorgie est pour l’OTAN un partenaire précieux et engagé. Récemment, la Géorgie a doublé sa contribution à notre mission en Afghanistan, ce qui fait d’elle un des pays partenaires avec les plus importantes contributions en troupes à la FIAS. En outre, elle participe déjà au processus de planification pour la mission de formation, de conseil et d’assistance qui sera dirigée par l’OTAN au profit des Afghans après 2014. Tout cela montre le ferme engagement de la Géorgie, que nous apprécions tout particulièrement.
NATO, for its part, is committed to close relations with Georgia. We support Georgia’s territorial integrity and sovereignty, within its internationally recognised borders, as well as its Euro-Atlantic future.
In October, Georgia passed an important test. It held elections which were free, fair and democratic. Next year’s presidential elections will constitute another important test. Meanwhile, we encourage all parties to work together to keep up that momentum. To make co-habitation work. To continue to pursue the necessary reforms. And to meet the highest democratic standards, including full respect for the rule of law and the constitution.
All this is vital for the Georgian people, and for Georgia’s future as a stable, democratic country at the heart of our Euro-Atlantic community – where it belongs.
Thank you. And now, if the representatives of the media would be so kind to please leave the room, we can start our discussion.
