On the first day, there was a gala dinner of the International Olympic Committee, where the presidents of the Olympic committees were present along with the country's leaders. It was a rather large-scale event, where we had the opportunity to talk to each other, and in this format it was nice that after the greeting, Marco Rubio greeted me and then JD Vance, with whom we had a short, warm, sincere positive conversation, - Mikheil Kavelashvili stated.

As he noted, the US Vice President referred to Georgia "warmly" and also spoke about the Patriarch.

"He mentioned our country very warmly and I was surprised how much the Vice President of America knew that we are a Christian country, a follower of traditions, he even mentioned the Patriarch. Then he added that the Day of Prayer, May 17, was established very recently and when we told him that 10 years ago, May 17 was precisely the initiative of the Patriarch, that it was declared the Day of Family Purity in Georgia, he was very happy and pleased. It was such a sincere, warm relationship. It was noticeable, I think the public saw the pictures. When you talk about family values, traditions, especially Christian values, we Georgians are very bold, because we are a nation with such a long Christian history, and we also told him that we are celebrating 1700 this year and quite large events should be held in Georgia in this regard. He was very pleased to hear all this," Mikheil Kavelashvili noted.

According to him, a short business conversation was held with JD Vance and he noted that he is informed about Georgia and that relations will definitely be renewed.

"Of course, a short business conversation was held. He said that yes, they have information and that closer relations will definitely be renewed. There are many processes underway in the world, he said that they are informed, receive more information and will definitely try to renew relations with us," - said Mikheil Kavelashvili on Imedi.
