U.S. Ambassador Calls on Georgia to Focus on Future
U.S. Ambassador to Georgia Richard Norland, who attended ratification of the Association Agreement with the EU by the Parliament on July 18, called on Georgia “to focus on a future-oriented agenda.”
“The signing and ratification [of the Association Agreement], following the ‘pause’ in the political season after the recent elections, represent an opportunity for all Georgians to now focus on a future-oriented agenda that will enhance political stability, improve the investment climate, expand economic growth and create jobs,” he said.
“While only Georgians can decide their national priorities, the challenges of the moment call for all of Georgia’s energies to be focused on the future, and the U.S. is committed to supporting that path,” the U.S. ambassador said.
