After the democratic parliamentary elections in October, the “challenge now is to maintain momentum”, to ensure smooth cohabitation between the President and government and “to ensure that Georgia stays on the path of democratic reforms,” NATO Secretary General Anders Fogh Rasmussen said.
Speaking at a news conference following a meeting of NATO-Georgia Commission on the foreign ministerial level on December 5, Rasmussen said that the Alliance recognized Georgia’s strong reform record.
“But we also recognize that there is still more work to be done, especially with respect to reforming the judiciary and strengthening the rule of law and media freedom and transparency,” Rasmussen said. “We look forward to a still stronger and closer relationship in 2013 and beyond.”
