On 26 September, President Edgars Rinkēvičs met with President of Georgia Salome Zourabichvili to discuss Georgia's European integration process.
The President of Latvia urged for more progress in the implementation of reforms and the fulfilment of recommendations for a European Union (EU) candidate status. At the same time, E. Rinkēvičs noted that the overwhelming majority of Georgians support Georgia's irreversible progress towards EU membership.
"Taking into account the expectations of the Georgian society and the significant support for European integration, the political forces of Georgia should do their utmost to seize the historic opportunity, fulfil the recommendations of the European Union and obtain the candidate status," the President of Latvia emphasised.
President Rinkēvičs also noted that Georgia should join the EU Common Foreign and Security Policy, including the EU sanctions against Russia.
