The U.S.-Georgia Strategic Partnership Commission will remain as the main mechanism for controlling and deepening cooperation between Georgia and the U.S, the joint Georgian-U.S. statement reads.

The statement of the working meetings of the strategic charter that were held last week in Washington, highlights the significant progress in cooperation reached within the charter.

Georgia entered the list of 20 countries that will participate in the USAID project on science, technology, innovation and partnerships (STIP).

The U.S. strongly supports Georgia's sovereignty within its internationally recognized borders, as well as Georgia's accession to Euro-Atlantic structures, the document further reads.

The U.S. attaches great importance to the cooperation with Georgia in the sphere of security and considers this cooperation as strategically important bilateral process which is the basis for reliable and solid relations between the two countries.

The U.S. and Georgia will continue the high level economic and investment dialogue by considering the opportunities for signing a free trade agreement.

The U.S.-Georgia Charter on Strategic Partnership was signed in Washington, on January 9, 2009.
