GUAM delegation to attend Baltic Assembly's int'l conference
A delegation of GUAM at an international conference of the Baltic Assembly will be headed by Georgian Parliament's Vice-Speaker.
Zurab Abashidze will visit Riga from May 8 to 10, where he will attend the international conference "Establishment of cooperation: report of Baltic States."
The Georgian Parliament said on Wednesday that the conference will be attended by parliamentary delegations of the GUAM countries, the Baltic Assembly and the Assembly of the Benelux countries.
Abashidze will address the conference on behalf of the GUAM delegation. The main theme of his speech will be the prospects of cooperation between GUAM and Baltic Assembly, as well as the priorities of Georgia within the GUAM PA chairmanship.
GUAM was established by the post-Soviet countries in 1997 during the EU presidential summit at Strasbourg. In 1999, Uzbekistan joined the organisation and left four years later. A decision was made to rename GUAM as an international organisation called 'Organisation for Democracy and Economic Development - GUAM', at the body's first summit in Kiev in 2006.
