  PM: EU integration remains top priority of Georgia

Integration into the European Union (EU) remains a top priority for Georgia's foreign policy in the coming years, Georgian Prime Minister Irakli Kobakhidze stated, AzVision.az reports, citing TASS. 

"We have key foreign policy priorities, and EU integration is, of course, our foremost objective. We anticipate a renewal of relations, which I believe will intensify from the beginning of next year," Kobakhidze said during a government meeting.

He also emphasized that Georgia must fulfill the obligations outlined in the Association Agreement with the EU in order to join the European Union by 2030.

Georgians participated in parliamentary elections on October 26, marking the country's first elections utilizing electronic ballot boxes.
