In an exclusive interview, the foreign minister of Georgia, David Zalkaliani, discussed this week’s Associated Trio summit in Batumi, relations with Ukraine, the internal political process and the country’s EU ambition.
David Zalkaliani is a Georgian career diplomat serving as the Minister of Foreign Affairs of Georgia since 21 June 2018. He spoke to EURACTIV’s Senior Editor Georgi Gotev.
There are a lot of speculations about this issue, but I can assure you that this was not connected to this conference, because the idea of this conference was presented by the president of Georgia [Salome Zourabishvili], some time ago, during Charles Michel’s last visit to Georgia where he was mediating the internal process with the different political parties in Georgia. And this was the idea of the president of Georgia to invite the associated partners, Ukraine and Moldova, to the Batumi International Conference.

2021 is a landmark year for our country: honouring 103 years of the First Democratic Republic of Georgia on 26 May, this year we also mark the 100
th anniversary of the Soviet occupation while celebrating 30 years of restoration of independence from this brutal regime.
A little more than a century ago, Georgia emerged as a rather unique independent republic which has been described as a remarkable experiment in social democracy. Indeed, during 1918-1921, Georgia was a functioning democracy with a multi-party system founded on principles of liberty, social justice and equality.
