Georgian Foreign Minister to Visit U.S.

Georgia’s Foreign Minister, Mikheil Janelidze, will be visiting the United States next week during which he will meet U.S. Secretary of State John Kerry, the Georgian Foreign Ministry said.

It said that Janelidze will also meet White House officials and co-chairs of Congressional Georgian Caucus Congressmen Ted Poe and Gerald Connolly.

In an opinion piece published in The Hill ahead of his trip to Washington, Janelidze says that the relationship between Georgia and the U.S. “at all levels of government — from the administration to Congress — has never been stronger.”

“A top priority is forging even closer economic and security ties between our two countries,” he wrote.
