State Minister for European and Euro-Atlantic Integration, Davit Bakradze, who is accompanying the President, said that the visit is important especially ahead of the EU’s Eastern Partnership summit in Riga in late May.
“It is a good opportunity to discuss Georgia’s progress on the European integration path and to also discuss how this progress will be reflected in Riga summit declaration,” said Bakradze, who before arriving in Riga visited Hungary.
