Georgia passes resolution on foreign policy priorities
Georgian parliament unanimously (96 votes) adopted on Thursday a
resolution which defines the main directions of the foreign policy
of the country. Resolution consisting of 19 points was supported by
the opposition after it had been amended some changes.
The resolution is based on the document, which was originally
presented by the "Georgian Dream" in the form of interfraction
agreement, but it is a modified version of proposals of the
National Movement, including the fact that Georgia has not entered
into the international organizations that are contrary to the main
Foreign policy priorities of the country - Georgia's integration
into European and Euro-Atlantic structures.
Resolution of the Parliament of Georgia on the main directions of
Georgia's foreign policy is based on the Constitution, the laws of
Georgia and international agreements, guided by the public interest
of Georgia, including the will of people expressed in a plebiscite
in 2008 for joining NATO.
It considers the priority of national security, the overall
responsibility of the political forces for preachment of those
targets, confirming Georgia's commitment not to use force, which
was made by the President of Georgia to the international community
on November 23, 2010 in Strasbourg, while making a speech in the
European Parliament.
The main directions of the foreign policy direction of the
Parliament of Georgia has announced the creation of guarantee of
security, the protection of the independence, sovereignty, and the
reunification of the country's internationally recognized
borders.
