In this context, Ilia Darchiashvili drew attention to the importance of achieving a tangible result in the Geneva international negotiations.

"We will continue to work closely with the co-chairing organizations and the US as a participant in the negotiations, as well as with the EU member states to find ways to make progress in the negotiations and to provide effective international support," said the ministerial candidate.

He also emphasized that the resolution "Cooperation with Georgia" initiated by 51 countries in the UN Human Rights Council and the resolution initiated by 61 countries and supported by 100 states at the UN General Assembly - "From Abkhazia, Georgia and the Tskhinvali region/South Ossetia, Georgia, on the status of internally displaced persons and refugees".

Ilia Darchiashvili said that the further consolidation of the policy of non-recognition in the international arena will definitely continue, promoting reconciliation and restoring trust between the population divided by war and occupation lines, and ensuring the effective involvement of the international community in the process.
