NATO-Georgia Commission Meets in Budapest

The NATO-Georgia Commission (NGC) met on October 10 for the first time at ministerial level to discuss the alliance’s assistance to Georgia in recovering from the recent conflict.

NATO defense ministers discussed with their Georgian counterpart, Davit Kezerashvili, the coordination of assistance in areas such as defence and security cooperation, security sector reform and airspace management, NATO said in a press-release.

The NGC was established in September 2008 during a visit of the North Atlantic Council to Tbilisi. 

Georgian Defense Minister Davit Kezerashvili said after the meeting that he hoped MAP would be granted to Georgia.

"We believe that this issue will be solved in favour of Georgia and we will receive MAP," he told reporters.

German Chancellor Angela Merkel said in St. Petersburg on October 2 that it was “too soon” for NATO to provide MAP to Georgia and Ukraine.
