Georgian Foreign Minister Grigol Vashadze has said new members could be admitted in the near future to GUAM, a group of four former Soviet republics. He did not elaborate which countries could join the organization, which currently comprises Georgia, Ukraine, Azerbaijan and Moldova.
Vashadze told reporters in Tbilisi that GUAM is gaining new partners. "The list consisting of the Czech Republic, Japan, the United States and Poland will be supplemented with the Baltic states. This will strengthen and develop our organization."
Vashadze dismissed speculations about the threat of GUAM’s collapse. "Though there are thoughts in the capitals of some countries about GUAM’s perishing and swift disbandment, our organization is healthy and feels fine. We have long entered the stage of implementing specific projects. At the meeting of the member states' foreign ministers in New York, I and my Azerbaijani counterpart Elmar Mammadyarov as well as other ministers considered issues of multi-faceted cooperation in the fields of automobile transport, tourism and agriculture.*
