Kvirikashvili became Prime Minister in December 2015, after winning a vote of confidence by the Georgian Parliament. He has prioritized economic growth and development and the establishment of strong relations between the government and citizens, including in the occupied regions of Abkhazia and South Ossetia.
Next month, Georgia will celebrate 25 years as an independent state. Its engagement with the global community includes strong ties to NATO and the European Union and a pragmatic approach to relations with Russia. The Prime Minister’s remarks at USIP will represent his only public address during his first trip to Washington since taking office. The visit includes meetings with administration officials that will focus on further strengthening economic and security cooperation. Join the conversation on Twitter with #GeorgiaUSIP.
