The Ambassador of the United States dedicated a very interesting and overwhelming speech to the 30^th anniversary of U.S.-Georgia diplomatic relations. She mentioned, that since the United States and Georgia have become strategic partners both sides formed a common vision of Georgia to get fully integrated in the Euro-Atlantic family. This vision takes hard work, patience, and resources. The United States has allotted almost $6 billion in assistance to Georgia not to mention other forms of support. “We have been privileged to support a remarkable number of successful initiatives with Georgian partners who are determined to see this country reach its full potential as a strong, independent democracy”, remarked the Ambassador.
