Scheffer Notes Progress in Georgia’s IPAP Implementation
NATO Secretary General Jaap de Hoop Scheffer said that “a lot of progress” has been made by Georgia in implementing its Individual Partnership Action Plan (IPAP) with NATO, but added that “a lot has to be done.”
Jaap de Hoop Scheffer was speaking at a joint press conference with the Georgian Foreign, Defense and State Ministers in Brussels after talks on May 18.
“It is a great pleasure to see three Georgian Ministers coming to NATO to discuss the way Georgia is implementing this so called Individual Partnership Action Plan,” the NATO Secretary General said.
He said that Georgia shows “a real ambition for Euro-Atlantic integration.”
“We have seen that a lot of progress has been made in the framework of IPAP… Implementation of the course is not always easy. Progress has been made; a lot has to be done. But it is always important to have these regular discussions with our Georgian friends,” he added.
