There will be more America in Georgia, in the region, and Georgia remains one of the main and strong pillars of American policy in this region, - President Salome Zourabichvili said after meeting with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

According to Zourabichvili, Mike Pompeo's visit is a sign that the United States stands by us.

"This meeting proves once again how close America and Georgia are, how strong American support is for Georgia, for this region, especially amidst the ongoing changes in the region. Today's decision of the U.S. Secretary of State to visit Georgia after his visit to France and before his visit to Israel - and these countries are one of the main partners of the U.S. - is a sign that America stands by us. I thanked him for that”, said the President.

According to her, it is very important that strategically America is our supporter in this region and is aware of the need for more active involvement in this region.

“His statements that we heard today about Karabakh and humanitarian aid are a sign that America will be involved in this peace process, and this was repeated by the Secretary of State.

America has reaffirmed its position regarding our most important and painful issue - the occupied territories. The Secretary reaffirmed the U.S. support for our sovereignty and territorial integrity, and the readiness to renew and strengthen the peace process and negotiations here, which is extremely important to us. All this means that there will be more America in Georgia, in the region, and Georgia remains one of the main and strong pillars of American policy in this region, and we are grateful for this," the president said.
