The government stubbornly intends to form a strategic partnership with China, we are in a tragicomic situation, but I want to reassure everyone that Georgia's friends will not allow China, India, etc., to start the recognition policy towards Georgia, Lelo MP Davit Usupashvili commented on the statement of the head of the International Affairs Committee of the Council of the Russian Federation, Grigory Karasin, that "Russia will try that China and India recognize the occupied regions of Georgia".

According to Usupashvili, Georgian Dream signs documents that together with China it will oppose the establishment of American and European-style governance in the world, while the success of the policy of non-recognition is their merit.

"The government of Georgia stubbornly intends to have a strategic partnership with China and signs documents that together with China it will oppose the establishment of American and European-style governance in the world. We are in such a tragicomic situation, but I want to reassure everyone that the friends of Georgia, namely Europe, the USA and other democratic states, will not allow that China, India, Brazil, Venezuela, etc., start a policy of recognition towards Georgia. The fact that the recognition policy is where it is today is the merit of the democratic world and not the merit of any Georgian government," Usupashvili said.

According to the head of the International Affairs Committee of the Russian Federation Council, Grigory Karasin, Russia is doing everything to ensure that other countries, including China and India, recognize the sovereignty of "South Ossetia" and Abkhazia.
