U.S. Vice President Dick Cheney will visit Georgia ?in coming few months,? President Saakashvili said on July 11.
He said at a news conference that the agreement was reached during his recent visit to the United States.
President Saakashvili reiterated that his recent visit to the United States and meeting with U.S. President Bush was ?historic,? and took place in ?a very historic moment.?
?It was historic because the U.S. President for the first time has stated about the U.S. firm support towards Georgia?s NATO membership,? Saakashvili said.
?The second important thing: [the U.S. President] has openly supported Georgia?s territorial integrity,? he added.
Saakashvili also said that after the Bush?s statements Russian President Putin again spoke about ?Kosovo precedent? and principle of universality while dealing with conflicts.
?But the statements by the U.S. President are more valued,? Saakashvili said.
Saakashvili also said that he wants to meet with his Russian counterpart after the G8 summit. Apparently the meeting will take place on the sideline of the CIS summit in Moscow in July.
