Georgia, Poland sign military accord
By Mushvig Mehdiyev
Georgia and Poland have signed an agreement on bilateral military cooperation in 2015.
The Defense Ministries of both countries will benefit from the new agreement to expand mutual relations.
A representative from Georgia’s Defense Ministry and Polish Military Attaché, Colonel Darius Pogorjelski signed the 2015 Cooperation Plan in Tbilisi, which envisages providing consultations on military-technical, educational and police-related issues.
Prior to the agreement's signing, the Polish visitors met with representatives of the International Relations and Euro-Atlantic Integration Department of the Georgian Defense Ministry and discussed bilateral military cooperation.
Poland has been a member of NATO since 1999.
Since 2002, for almost 12 years until the end of 2014 when the last troops were withdrawn, Poland participated as part of the coalition forces in the International Security Assistance Force mission in Afghanistan.
It was the largest contingent in Polish history of military operations abroad.
Meanwhile, Georgia, in turn, has actively been involved in NATO missions in Afghanistan and kept on its contribution to the NATO-led ISAF mission as the largest non-NATO contributor .
