Georgia in San Francisco

Today, the entire Georgia 🇬🇪 bows its head in grief. His #Holiness Ilia II was not only a #Patriarch, but a spiritual pillar and the #conscience of our nation — a guiding light for generations, a guardian of #faith, and a symbol of #resilience.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia is closely monitoring the situation in the Middle East with deep concern. We emphasise the importance of diplomatic efforts to achieve de-escalation and ensure stability in the region. We advise Georgian citizens to follow the official guidance and take all necessary precautions to ensure their safety. Our embassies in the region remain fully operational and ready to assist Georgian citizens as needed.

#AmbassadorsConference2025 kicked off in Tbilisi, offering an important opportunity to #review the past year, #assess today’s international landscape, & #define priorities for our #diplomatic work in the year ahead.

We welcome the #Gaza ceasefire as a hopeful milestone toward peace. President @realDonaldTrump’s decisive diplomacy, supported by the mediation of 🇶🇦 Qatar, 🇪🇬 Egypt, and 🇹🇷 Türkiye, has played a crucial role in reaching this agreement. The immediate release of hostages will pave the way for lasting peace, that remains our shared responsibility.

We welcome the historic peace agreement on the “Establishment of Peace and Inter-State Relations between the Republic of Azerbaijan 🇦🇿 and the Republic of Armenia 🇦🇲 ”, reached in Washington under the auspices of the President of the United States, 🇺🇸 Donald Trump. This landmark accord constitutes a pivotal milestone toward securing lasting peace in the South Caucasus and provides a solid foundation for new opportunities for the region’s long-term stability and development. 🇬🇪 remains steadfast in its commitment to advancing peace and strengthening regional cooperation.

17 years have passed since Russia’s full-scale military aggression against Georgia in August 2008, which led to the ongoing occupation of Georgia’s indivisible regions - #Abkhazia and the #Tskhinvali region. Georgia remains firmly committed to peaceful conflict resolution. 🔁mfa.gov.ge/en/news/905969…

We are deeply concerned by the rising tensions in the Middle East, posing threats to regional security. We strongly emphasize the importance of diplomatic efforts to achieve de-escalation and ensure stability.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Georgia firmly serves the national interests of Georgia and fully adheres to its Constitution. The Ministry condemns the pressure exerted on Georgia’s diplomatic service and the calls for sabotage. Attempts by foreign states to interfere in the functioning of the institutions of a sovereign state are unacceptable. The government of Georgia has been resolutely committed to the implementation of the Association Agreement with the European Union, including the Deep and Comprehensive Free Trade Area (DCFTA), even prior to obtaining candidate status for EU membership. Therefore, the government of Georgia stands firm to continue irreversible process of European integration based on the Association Agreement that will ensure better preparedness for swift EU accession negotiations. Since the European Union has not yet made a decision on opening accession negotiations with Georgia, claims that the Georgian government suspended negotiations with the EU are not true. The decision of the Georgian government not to raise the issue of negotiations with the EU until 2028 and to decline EU grant budget support does not mean suspension of Georgia’s European integration process. Instead, it seeks to prevent damaging speculations on this issue.

It is a great honor, privilege and immense responsibility to be nominated as Foreign Minister of 🇬🇪. I extend my heartfelt gratitude to @PM_Kobakhidze and the @GeorgianDream41 team for the trust they have placed in me.

🇬🇪🌉We are thrilled to share the news that the Georgian Innovation Hub is set to open in San Francisco! This is a step toward strengthening the bridge between Georgia’s vibrant tech and startup scene and the heart of Silicon Valley. #GITA #Georgia #SanFrancisco #Innnovation

Had the privilege of meeting with Mrs. Maryam Muduroglu, Chief of Protocol at @sfgov. We discussed ways to strengthen the relationship and foster collaboration between Georgia and SF. Grateful for the continuous support from the Mayor's office to the Consulate General.
