President Saakashvili said in an interview with Tbilisi-based Imedi television aimed on June 18, that ?Georgia?s issue will definitely be discussed at the G8 summit? in St. Petersburg scheduled for July 15-17.
?Georgia?s issue, which is put on the G8 summit agenda, is very important because it is matter of fair attitude towards freedom-loving nation, because it is a matter of fair resolution of conflicts, because it is a matter of our region?s strategic location in respect of energy supplies. So Georgia?s issue will definitely be discussed, there is no doubt in this,? Saakashvili said.
He also said that Georgia plans ?intensive? and ?serious? consultations not only with Russia, but with other G8 states, on the eve of the St. Petersburg summit.
?We plan certain [foreign] visits and consultations and not only at the level of the President, but also at the level of the Foreign Minister, parliamentarians etc. Our voice will be well heard,? he said.
