Georgia. My second big impression is how strong and deep the ties are between Americans and Georgians in every sector of society. I have already met thousands of Georgians from every sector, including doctors, teachers, soldiers, emergency first responders, musicians, government workers and civil society representatives, who have a strong connection with the United States. I have greatly enjoyed getting to know the country, from over-eating the delicious cuisine at โ€˜suprasโ€™, visiting Batumiโ€™s bustling port, hiking in Eagles Gorge, and tasting wine and walnuts in Kakheti. I hope to visit every region of Georgia in the coming months. I am honored to be President Bidenโ€™s representative in Georgia. For me, it is the perfect country to be the United States Ambassador. What are your top priorities as U.S. Ambassador to Georgia for building stronger bilateral ties, and how do you see these efforts contributing to the long-term relationship between the United States and Georgia?

My top priority, which President Biden and Secretary of State Blinken share, is to further deepen our strategic partnership. A critical element of this is continuing U.S. support for Georgiaโ€™s Euro-Atlantic integration, including supporting Georgia in its path of integration with the EU and NATO. I am also committed to further strengthening our trade and investment ties, including actively supporting Georgiaโ€™s devel-

Earlier in my diplomatic career, I worked on policies to support development of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline. It is such a pleasure to be in Georgia today and see how much progress the country has made since that time and the potential that exists for further investment and development.

6 DIPLOMAT

train together and exercise together, and they have served sideby-side and sacrificed together. We have worked together for decades to help Georgiaโ€™s military become more interoperable with NATO and enhance Georgiaโ€™s ability to defend its sovereign territory and deter further aggression. I am committed to continuing our strong partnership in this sphere. In terms of regional stability, what is the significance of Georgia for the U.S., and what measures are being taken to enhance stability and cooperation in the South Caucasus? The United States welcomes Georgiaโ€™s efforts to act as a regional advocate and mediator for peace in the region. Secretary Blinken has been very involved in urging peaceful resolution of conflict in the South Caucasus. Going forward, I believe Georgia can and will continue to play a critical role in bringing the region together politically and economically. A stronger, more united South Caucasus means greater stability and prosperity, benefiting everyone who lives in this region. From your diplomatic experience, what role do you see Georgia playing in broader U.S. foreign policy objectives, particularly with regard to challenges and opportunities in the region? Georgia and the United States collaborate on a wide range of issues, working together to better address global challenges. For example, scientists and doctors at the Georgian and U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention are working together to prevent, detect, and respond to infectious diseases. Our law enforcement officials are working together to combat transnational cybercrime and human trafficking. Georgian and American soldiers have fought together in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Kosovo. Recently, USAID and the Georgian government celebrated our partnership to significantly reduce lead poisoning in Georgia. We have shown that we are stronger together and our bilateral cooperation has been a force for good. With Georgiaโ€™s pursuit of EU candidate status, what was the role of the U.S. in this achievement, and moving forward what are some of the main challenges and opportunities? The United States is proud to have been a partner to Georgia from 1992 until today, and to have helped Georgia become an EU candidate country. We have strongly supported and will continue to support Georgiaโ€™s EU path. The impact of U.S. assistance is visible in throughout many segments of Georgian society and all of the regions of the country. We have helped create thousands of jobs in agriculture, high-tech sectors, many high-paying industries. We have supported renovations of hundreds of schools and health clinics.

Earlier in my diplomatic career, I worked on policies to support development of the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan pipeline. It is such a pleasure to be in Georgia today and see how much progress the country has made since that time and the potential that exists for further investment and development.

financing to support small and medium sized businesses. We have equipped and trained Georgiaโ€™s coast guard to support its efforts to protect Georgiaโ€™s maritime border. We have worked together to protect the health of Georgians and prevent the spread of deadly diseases. All of these efforts contributed to Georgiaโ€™s development to become the country it is today โ€“ with this great opportunity of EU candidate status. I hope Georgians seize this opportunity, and my team and I are committed to continuing to work with all Georgians as they progress on their Euro-Atlantic trajectory. How does the U.S. support democratic institutions, rule of law, human rights in Georgia as it navigates its democratic development? Tolerance, inclusion, and rule of law are important elements of any countryโ€™s democratic development. The American experiment with democracy will celebrate 248 years this July, and there is still more to do in our own journey to become a stronger democracy. We are committed to supporting Georgia as it navigates its own democratic path. In addition to supporting reforms, we have provided significant support to organizations that work on promoting a culture of tolerance for Georgiaโ€™s diverse citizens and communities. U.S. support has also helped municipalities and schools be more accessible for the disabled. We have trained teachers to better teach Georgian as a second language so that members of minority communities in Georgia can participate more fully in society. We are supporting legal professionals as they provide citizen-centered legal services, and weโ€™re creating opportunities for senior citizens to stay engaged in their communities. Can you give us an update on trade relations between USA and Georgia today? Is there any room for further development including potential prospects of the FTA?

record of nearly $2 billion last year. By the time I leave Georgia, I want to be able to say that economic and commercial ties between our countries have grown even more. I think we can bring more U.S. companies here and take more Georgian companies to the United States. For example, in June I plan to accompany a Georgian delegation of investors and businesses to Maryland to attend the Select USA Conference. This is the highest profile event in the United States to facilitate business investment by connecting thousands of investors, companies, economic development organizations (EDOs), and industry experts to make deals happen. The United States, through USAID, is also helping Georgian businesses meet EU standards, so that Georgia can build trade linkages with EU member states,

as well as grow its regional trade. In light of the upcoming elections in Georgia and United States, how do you see these events affecting the relations moving forward and what role diplomacy can play in these

transition period? I believe the deep partnership and ties between the American and Georgian people, societies and our governments transcends any particular political party or candidate. I and all of the United States government will work with any democratically elected government to continue to build on the special strategic partnership our countries enjoy. Elections are the cornerstone of every strong democracy, allowing the people to choose their own government by casting a ballot in a free and fair process. To that end, we are supporting efforts by Georgiaโ€™s government, Central Election Commission, opposition parties and civil society to promote a free, fair, and transparent electoral process.

The impact of U.S. assistance is visible in throughout many segments of Georgian society and all of the regions of the country. We have helped create thousands of jobs in agriculture, high-tech sectors, many high-paying industries. Looking ahead, what do you think will be your legacy and what do you want to be remembered for as Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary to Georgia by the time you end your term? I believe Americans and Georgians share core values, including the belief that if we work hard, respect each other, and value our rights and freedom that we will continue to improve the world for our families, communities, and countries. It is a privilege to serve as the U.S. Ambassador to Georgia, and I hope to be remembered for deepening the ties between our countries and doing more together to improve the lives of our citizens today and leave a better world for our children.

construction, to retail, to banking, to IT. This has been driven by a general westernization of the corporate sector and legislative environment, from finance and legal services, to corporate governance and management practices. AmCham has helped to drive forward these changes and so has helped the country to develop generally. You have been the president of AmCham for the second year, what are your vision and priorities? Once again, we live in difficult times. The war in Ukraine has clearly highlighted the unpredictability of the region and the importance of strong ties with strong partners. My priority is to help maintain the strength of Georgiaโ€™s connections to the West, particularly the United States and, in the process, ensure that the country has a more free and prosperous future. Of the projects implemented by AmCham, which one are you most proud of? There have been many projects over the years, so itโ€™s hard to narrow it down. Following the Rose Revolution, we worked on the tax reform, labor law and customs regulations - which were some of the major drivers for Georgiaโ€™s dramatic improvement in international ranking. Following the war with Russia, we supported the argument for post-war aid, which helped rebuild the country and facilitated our recovery from the 2008 financial crisis. More recently, with the current government, we were one of the founders of the Investment Council, encouraged the development of the Estonian Tax Model, worked on visa reform, capital markets, corporate governance, tax reform, support for education, and much more. Last year we just completed a project which helped a number of large hotels to train more staff, to international standards, and so supported the development of this crucial sector. Seeing the students complete that training course and take positions in a wide range of hotels in Georgia was a great moment. What is the most active direction, initiative or project you and your team are working on right now? We are currently working on a project to help communicate the importance of foreign investment in Georgia. Many people donโ€™t

realize that most of the major sectors in the Georgian economy, from banking, to tourism, to manufacturing, to retail have been developed with external support, and that the most important support is the expertise that this has brought. We are very excited to identify the ways that this has happened. We also have a scholarship program, paid for by our members, which is currently paying for more than 30 students to go to university.

our country? FTAs are generally great for encouraging economic growth, particularly in developing countries, and we think that an FTA with Georgia would be extremely useful. However, even without one, we are looking for ways to support increased trade with the United States, particularly in Georgiaโ€™s signature products, like wine, as well as certain design-oriented products, like kidsโ€™ clothes and toys.

Over the last 25yrs almost every facet of the economy has changed from tourism, to construction, to retail, to banking, to IT. This has been driven by a general westernization of the corporate sector and legislative environment, from finance and legal services, to corporate governance and management practices. AmCham has helped to drive forward these changes and so has helped the country to develop generally. What is the share and dynamics of American investments in Georgia over the past 25 years? The USA is the largest economy and the largest international investor in the world. Many people donโ€™t realize the scale of investment that the US Government and businesses invest here. This is one of the elements we will try and correct with our new communication program. But, it is worth noting that many of Georgiaโ€™s most significant companies have been driven by US-involvement, both in management and expertise and capital - again, from tourism to utilities, to finance to energy. Also, US government support, through development support and as the largest contributor to World Bank, EBRD and Asian Development Bank, has been a huge driver of infrastructure improvements.

in investing in Georgia, and what do you think are the main hindering factors that prevent them from investing? Over the years, the AmCham network has engaged with thousands of investors and potential investors in Georgia. Generally, the first thing that we do to attract any investor, is get them to come here. We have long believed that Georgia looks better when you are here than it does from a distance. People have a tendency to be impressed with the opportunities that they see when they get here - and also, of course, develop an emotional tie to the country โ€“ I mean, fall in the love with the place generally. Of course, the same logic can be reversed. The biggest hurdle for Americans to invest here is that it is a long way away - and it is usually not on the radar of most investors. What are the directions that most interest American investors in Georgia, and in which direction is there more work to be done? Opportunities have been, and continue to be, wide ranging. Of course, at the moment, middle-corridor transport and logistics, energy and tourism are probably at the top of peopleโ€™s minds when thinking about investing in Georgia. In some of these there is probably space for clearer government support on risk-sharing mechanisms. The continuing improvements in physical connections as well as transport and logistics will be vital to each of these areas. Also continuing to push for EU membership will really help. Finally, what is your prediction for US-Georgia trade relations in the next ten years? We have seen a huge increase in the number of export-oriented technology companies, selling services to the US, in the last few

It is worth noting that many of Georgia's most significant companies have been driven by US-involvement, both in management and expertise and capital again, from tourism to utilities, to finance to energy. Also, US government support, through development support and as the largest contributor to World Bank, EBRD and Asian Development Bank, has been a huge driver of infrastructure improvements. years. This has huge potential for almost unlimited growth, though is currently poorly captured in national statistics. If Georgia could break through into the US market with any major category, it could be transformative. But trade is not necessarily the most important metric here. US business involvement will be important, even if the target markets are more regional, like the EU.

Through the implementation of large-scale infrastructure projects, we aim to fully utilize the country's electricity export and transit potential. To this end, we have initiated the "Energy Network Improvement Program" (ENIP), the most extensive investment program in power transmission infrastructure that the Georgian State Electrosystem has undertaken. of the transmission network and increase of reliability. Additionally, within the program, plans are underway to strengthen the Kakheti energy grid. This entails the construction of the Akhali Telavi substation and the Stori HPP - Telavi and Telavi-Zhinvali power transmission lines in Telavi, along with the rehabilitation of the Gurjaani substation and the construction of a new substation in Zhinvali. What specific outcomes does the Georgian State Electrosystem anticipate upon the programโ€™s completion? Upon the programโ€™s full execution, Georgia anticipates the development of a stable, reliable, cost-effective, and efficient transmission system, ensuring network security. The ENIP program is expected to facilitate the integration of renewable energy sources into Georgiaโ€™s power grid and ensure ample bandwidth for electricity exchange with neighboring nations. This program stands as an unprecedented, nationally significant initiative, paving the way for enhanced integration with the European area. It promises improved conditions for economic development across various sectors, including business, tourism, industry, and agriculture, consequently generating more employment opportunities and income for the Georgian population.

It is an anniversary year for the Council of Europe, how has its role evolved over these 75 years and how does it contribute to the promotion of democracy, human rights and the rule of law today? Indeed, 2024 marks a significant milestone for the Council of Europe, the key human rights organisation on the continent, now encompassing 46 member states. For three-quarters of a century, it has been leading its member states on the path of human rights, democracy and the rule of law. The Council of Europe was founded in the wake of the Second World War, born out of the conviction that โ€œthe pursuit of peace based upon justice and international cooperation is vital for the preservation of human society and civilisationโ€. Today, 75 years later, the promise of โ€œnever againโ€ has been fundamentally challenged by Russiaโ€™s war of aggression against Ukraine. The dangers to European democracy are still present, and the need to protect European values from democratic backsliding is greater than ever before. Joining the Council of Europe means committing to the European Convention on Human Rights. This unique treaty and its mechanisms, the key one being the European Court of Human Rights with its legally binding rulings, ensures that individualsโ€™ rights are protected and that national legislation and administrative practice areas are adapted to European standards. The Council of Europe also encompasses independent monitoring and expert advisory bodies, such as the Committee for the Prevention of Torture, the anti-corruption body GRECO, GREVIO which oversees the implementation of the Istanbul Convention by its participating states, and the Venice Commission, the body of legal constitutional experts. Other Council of Europe conventions focus on cybercrime, money laundering and protection of the rights of national minorities. To sum up, the work of our Organisation across Europe, including here in Georgia, aims at ensuring that states live up to the commitments they entered into when joining the Council of Europe and its conventions. How has your office contributed to its mission during 25 years of work in this country? Since Georgia joined the Council of Europe as the 41st member state on 27 April 1999, the Georgia Field Office has been pivotal in aiding the new member to honour its statutory obligations and specific commitments to the Council of Europe.

co-operation. Setting legally binding standards goes hand in hand with their implementation and is supported by technical co-operation to facilitate this process. Over the years, the Office has been dedicated to providing customised support that has directly contributed to the nationโ€™s reform initiatives and ambitions. Here, Iโ€™m talking about justice sector reforms, notably the improvement of the investigation and prosecution of hate crimes, and making justice even more accessible and fair. Our efforts have fostered a greater emphasis on diversity across the country, engaging stakeholders in recognising and promoting its importance, which has led to positive societal and policy changes. As the Head of the Council of Europe Office in Georgia, Iโ€™m proud of the progress weโ€™ve jointly made. Our commitment to supporting Georgiaโ€™s journey towards a more just, equitable, and inclusive society is unwavering, and we continue to stand by Georgia in aligning with the core values and standards of the Council of Europe โ€“ and Europe at large.

Among the significant milestones, I can name a crucial role played by the Council of Europe in transforming Georgiaโ€™s legal and judicial systems, focusing on enhancing efficiency, independence, and alignment with European standards. As co-chair of the 3rd and 4th waves of judicial reforms, the Council of Europe significantly bolstered the independence and accountability of courts. Notably, under our projects, child-friendly judicial forms were developed, empowering children to address courts independently. Moreover, our support extends to the Independent Inspectorโ€™s office, leading to increased transparency and substantiation of referrals, enhancing judicial accountability.

European Commission for the Efficiency of Justice (CEPEJ, another organ of the Council of Europe) and employs various CEPEJ tools in everyday operations. CoE projects have markedly improved court management practices, enabling courts to conduct time-motion studies autonomously. Another important achievement includes enhancing healthcare for prison inmates. Weโ€™ve contributed to significantly improved psychiatric care, effective prevention of suicides, managing acute mental health crises, and providing first aid for suicide attempts or self-harm. This has been a comprehensive effort aimed at managerial, operational, and medical staff within the penitentiary and probation system. Another area where weโ€™ve made substantial strides is in fighting violence against women and domestic violence. Georgia has joined the Istanbul Convention, the Council of Europeโ€™s treaty against violence against women and domestic violence, in 2017. Weโ€™ve helped to establish a new legal framework in Georgia that has led to doubling in the reporting of sexual violence crimes and improved outcomes in their adjudication. Key professionals, including judges, prosecutors, inspectors, and forensic examiners have been trained to deal with sexual abuse cases more effectively. More recently, we have developed a comprehensive manual on effectively investigating, prosecuting, and adjudicating sexual violence crimes. This manual has not only had a positive impact in Georgia but has also been referenced in Ukraine and is in the process of being adapted to Kyrgyzstan. Since 2019, Equality Weeks that we held in collaboration with various government and civil society stakeholders, private sector and media have provided a platform for discussions, training, and public lectures for diverse groups. Over the years, we have showcased personal stories of individuals advocating for equality and representing various religious and ethnic groups, as well as LGBTI individuals.

Today, 75 years later, the promise of โ€œnever againโ€ has been fundamentally challenged by Russiaโ€™s war of aggression against Ukraine. The dangers to European democracy are still present, and the need to protect European values from democratic backsliding is greater than ever before. These are just a few highlights of our work here. We remain committed to supporting Georgiaโ€™s journey towards a more democratic, equitable, and just society. Are there any activities planned on celebrating both CoE`s 75th anniversary and 25th anniversary of CoE Office in Georgia?

ness of the Organisationโ€™s positive impact on peopleโ€™s daily lives over 75 years. Under the slogan โ€œUnited around our valuesโ€, our communication and visibility materials, campaigns, and reports will highlight the work that the Organisationโ€™s member States are undertaking to promote and implement shared values and standards. We marked the 75th anniversary following up on the 4th Council of Europe Summit of May 2023, in Reykjavรญk, which showcased the strong commitment of Heads of State and Government to refocus the Organisationโ€™s mission in the light of new threats to human rights and democracy, to boost initiatives on emerging challenges, including those related to environment and artificial intelligence. How do you assess the cooperation between the Council of Europe and government and civil society actors of Georgia focused on meeting its objectives? How has this collaboration changed over time?

What are the main priorities and areas for focus for Council of Europeโ€™s office in Georgia given the recent strategy presentation? The new Council of Europe Action Plan for Georgia 20242027 that has been launched recently is the fourth of its kind since 2013. Its overarching goal is to support Georgia in aligning its legislation, institutions, and practices more closely with European standards, thereby contributing to the countryโ€™s European perspective.

I believe in the importance of laws and policies that truly reflect human behaviour and actively pro-

mote social and gender equality. This passion has driven me to develop innovative tools for our work, including a data collection mechanism and an enhanced system for results-based project management reporting. These tools are crucial for making informed decisions and measuring the impact of our initiatives accurately. I actively advocate for the integration of behavioural

With a budget of 20 million euros, this Action Plan is an investment not just in Georgia's future but also in the future of Europe. science into our policy design and implementation processes. This approach is about leveraging knowledge and insight to foster more effective and impactful policies. My academic research focuses on gender stereotypes, benevolent sexism, and the use of theatre as a tool for social change. Through this work, I seek innovative solutions to combat gender and other forms of discrimination, exploring how creative expressions like theatre can contribute to societal transformation. In addition, I am a yoga teacher, a passion I discovered later in life. Yoga has taught me the importance of balance, both in my personal and professional life.

ropean governance in order to promote European values and principles, both within the EU and beyond. EPLO, in cooperation with more than 200 educational and research institutions, facilitates streamlining of national legislations and institutional-building in 70 countries. EPLO operates through two head-offices in Rome and Athens, five permanent missions and 25 institutions established within the organization. When and under what circumstances did you join this organization? I joined the European Public Law Organization in 2020, after completing my last posting term to Athens and Belgrade, as Ambassador of Georgia. A few years before, the President of the EPLO Board of Directors, Professor Spyridon Flogaitis, offered me the position of the EPLO regional director, which I accepted with interest in 2020, since I considered the transfer from Georgian diplomacy to the international diplomacy a kind of logical continuation of my diplomatic career. On August 13, 2020, an agreement signed between the Government of Georgia and the European Public Law Organization for the establishment of the EPLO regional (Georgia and Armenia) representation defined modalities of the representationโ€™s functioning. In order to grant the Diplomatic Status to the representation, the parties signed an additional agreement, which was ratified by the Parliament of Georgia on March 30, 2021. The Parliament of Georgia, the Ministry of Justice and the Ministry of Education and Science of Georgia, as well as Ivane Javakhishvili Tbilisi State University played a special role in the successful completion of the procedures described above. When was EPLOโ€™s regional Branch in Tbilisi established, and what are its key projects? EPLOโ€™s regional Branch in Tbilisi has been operating since 2021. Since then, the Branch has been implementing a number of important projects. The Branch is involved in approximation of national legislations with EU legislation; carries out an evaluation of the implementation of international legal obligations by the countries of its coverage; facilitates the participation of Georgia and Armenia in the EPLO Rule of Law Commission, which functions within the UN; Though the EPLO educational grant, the Branch implements an annual program, beneficiaries of which are civil servants of Georgia and Armenia: they participate in masterโ€™s programs in European Law and Governance at the EPLO University - European Law and Governance School (www.elgs.eu). The Branch implements awareness-raising and qualification-enhancement programs in the countries of its coverage; creates knowledge about the European Union, its law, institutional arrangements and other issues important for the region, and disseminates this knowledge through various guide-books, researches and policy documents.

Union, organizes presentations in various universities. EPLOโ€™s regional Branch in Tbilisi works closely with local embassies and international organizations, the Parliament of Georgia, sectoral Ministries, The Government of Abkhazian Autonomous Republic, as well as the โ€œInternational Education Centerโ€ and โ€œNATO and EU Information Centerโ€, other local actors. The Detailed information about the Branch can be seen at https://worldpresence.eplo.int/south-caucasus/. What are plans of the EPLO Regional Branch for this year and in the near future? Among ongoing activities for this year I would like to single out EPLOโ€™s involvement in the constitutional reform of the Republic of Armenia. EPLOโ€™s engagement in this reform has been institutionalized through the EPLO Global Rule of Law Commission, led by the President of the Commission and the former Prime Minister of Italy, Mr. Giuliano Amato. Practical works are supervised by Mr. Luis Maria Dรญez-Picazo, an acting judge of the Supreme Court of Spain, and the legal expertise is provided by EPLOโ€™s Global Institute of the Rule of Law. Additionally, this year, the next session of the EPLO Rule of Law Global Commission may take place in Tbilisi. This commission, in cooperation with the United Nations, comprises 17 prominent lawyers and politicians from around the world and aims at developing a comprehensive Global concept of the Rule of Law concerning UN Universal Values and diversity, in response to the rapidly evolving international landscape. Notably, Mr. Mikheil Sarjveladze, Chairman of the Human Rights and Civil Integration Committee of the Parliament of Georgia, represents Georgia in this commission.

various activities supporting Georgiaโ€™s accession to the European Union, thorough organizing awareness and capacity-building programs both in Georgia and Armenia. To this end, collaboration with local EU member states embassies in Georgia and Armenia is of a special importance . This year, the Branch plans to release an comprehensive two-part publication featuring works of Michel Mouskhely Mikheil Muskhelishvili (1903-1964), a prominent French constitutionalist and international law specialist of Georgian origin.

This year, the next session of the EPLO Rule of Law Global Commission may take place in Tbilisi. This commission, in cooperation with the United Nations, comprises 17 prominent lawyers and politicians from around the world and aims at developing a comprehensive Global concept of the Rule of Law concerning UN Universal Values and diversity, in response to the rapidly evolving international landscape. His publications, โ€œLโ€™Europe face au fรฉdรฉralismeโ€ (1949) and โ€œConfรฉdรฉration et fรฉdรฉration - according to lโ€™antithรจseโ€ (1952), describe legal and institutional aspects of the current European Union with a surprising accuracy. Through his concept of a โ€œnon-dogmatic federalism,โ€ Muskhelishvili explains an โ€œalgorithmโ€ for the supranational method of EU administration, as well as offers legal techniques for finding such โ€œalgorithmโ€ through comparative legal and philosophical analyses of Federalism and Confederalism.

I was the first Georgian to work there. I had

an opportunity to work on wide range of files including sensitive cases such as expanding jurisdiction of the convention to Iraq, Afghanistan, Libya, and Syria. Additionally, I managed initiatives related to countering chemical weapons in the context of terrorism and chaired the subcommittee on scientific and technological developments. In 2013, OPCW was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize, and I was honored to be one of the recipients. Later, I started to work in a UN agency (UNICRI) overseeing the Chemical, Biological, Radiological, and Nuclear Weapons Risk Mitigation Program. In this role, I collaborated with around 50 countries, assisting them in developing national strategies to mitigate risks. In 2014, I initiated the Artificial Intelligence and Robotics Program within the UNICRI, United Nationsโ€”the first of its kind. The following year, we organized our inaugural event at the UN General Assembly, where I moderated first AI discussions at the UNHQ in New York. It was a groundbreaking meeting, considering that AI was scarcely discussed within or outside the UN at the time. Although AI has been around as a field for some time, it hadnโ€™t gained mainstream attention. Fast forward to today, regulating AI is a top priority not only at the UN but also globally. Since 2015, our efforts have expanded to include various activities, training sessions, and research endeavors aimed at comprehensively understanding AI risks, managing them effectively, and harnessing its positive potential, such as its alignment with UN Sustainable Development Goals. In addition to our ongoing efforts, we forged connections with the private sector, UN member states, and international organizations to create a structural chain in order to better understand the direction of existing AI applications. In a few years, under UNICRI we created the first United Nations Center for Artificial Intelligence and Robotics in The Hague, and I was appointed as its head. During this period, artificial intelligence underwent rapid expansion, both technologically and in its reception within the United Nations and beyond. Gradually, we realized the necessity of narrowing the centerโ€™s focus. Given the vast scope of artificial intelligence technology, it became evident that a single center couldnโ€™t cover every aspect. Consequently, our centerโ€™s primary focus shifted towards the application of artificial intelligence in crime prevention, criminal justice, rule of law and human rights. We concentrated on exploring how this technology could be utilized by law enforcement agencies to solve concrete crime, as well as used by criminals or terrorists and, conversely, how to prevent such misuse. Within this framework, we cooperate intensively with many organizations, including Interpol. Together, we launched the โ€œAI for Law Enforcementโ€ movement. As part of this initiative, we created an AI governance instrument that we released last year aimed at promoting the responsible use of AI by law enforcement. Moreover, our center is involved in implementing various projects targeting specific crimes.

formation, and AI-technologies. In addition, the center is also engaged in the field of education. For example, one of our projects focuses on establishing management mechanisms and guidelines for children regarding generative artificial intelligence (Generative AI). Additionally, we collaborate with the Norwegian government on a program aimed at measuring public perception of the use of AI by law enforcement. In particular, we seek to ensure that the public is well-informed and engaged in the utilization of these technologies. The overarching principle of the center, as well as my personal motto, is that artificial intelligence, as an immensely powerful technology, should be leveraged to address societal challenges. However, itโ€™s imperative that we ensure its responsible use, prioritizing the protection of human rights and dignity. I firmly believe this balance is achievable. Looking ahead, I foresee AI becoming seamlessly integrated across all sectors in the near future and our primary objective will be to ensure that AI remains a tool in service of humanity, not the other way round, guiding our efforts to align processes accordingly. What are the benefits and risks associated with the use of artificial intelligence in law enforcement? It has many benefits. AI technology has the potential to aid in solving basically all crimes effectively. For example, in cases of child sexual abuse, there are numerous AI technologies and applications that are tailored specifically for addressing such crimes. These include facial recognition technology, object and natural language processing technology, rapid analysis of texts across various forums, and the classification of data extracted from suspects. However, there are numerous risks associated with the proliferation of AI technology. Criminal organizations and terrorists

Within the next 5-10 years, anywhere from 30 to, in some countries, 40-50 percent of existing jobs will be either completely or partially replaced by AI. However, other studies indicate that this is a transitional phase during which many new jobs or professions will emerge. can obtain substantial knowledge of AI and its potential applications. One concerning example is the rise of deep fakes, which have gained popularity due to their ease of creation. These manipulated media can carry significant financial or political implications. Additionally, the use of AI raises human rights concerns, particularly regarding the potential infringement upon individualsโ€™ privacy.

wrongful arrest of innocent individuals. So, it appears that even artificial intelligence can be prone to errors? Absolutely. AI technology is not infallible; its accuracy depends on its design and implementation. Bias presents a significant challenge. AI processes large amounts of data rapidly using computational power and algorithms. If the data it analyzes is biased, the outcomes will likely be incorrect. Depending solely on AI without appropriate checks, including in some instances, human verification, could lead to massive discrimination across various domains. Artificial intelligence is widely acknowledged to pose a threat to job loses, and weโ€™re already witnessing similar trends. Are there any measures being taken in response? How does the global community view this issue? The worldโ€™s perception of this issue varies. Numerous studies conducted by esteemed organizations suggest that within the next 5-10 years, anywhere from 30 to, in some countries, 4050 percent of existing jobs will be either completely or partially replaced by AI. However, other studies indicate that this is a transitional phase during which many new jobs or professions will emerge. If managed effectively by states and organizations, this transition could occur relatively smoothly, potentially leading to the creation of new jobs, professions, and businesses. However, itโ€™s crucial for countries to develop their own strategies for addressing AI-related challenges and finding solutions.

The overarching principle of the center, as well as my personal motto, is that artificial intelligence, as an immensely powerful technology, should be leveraged to address societal challenges. However, it's imperative that we ensure its responsible use, prioritizing the protection of human rights and dignity. I firmly believe this balance is achievable. Various programs are emerging globally, all sharing a common objective: to continually enhance peopleโ€™s knowledge and skills while expanding access to education. For instance, several countries are implementing the Lifelong Learning program, which facilitates ongoing skill acquisition throughout a personโ€™s life, with state funding. Promoting the development of human skills is imperative to ensure that individualsโ€™ knowledge and abilities remain relevant to contemporary demands. Returning to the topic of AI governance, youโ€™re actively engaged with numerous countries. Among them, which are particularly advanced in this field, and what examples of success and trends have emerged? Governing and regulating AI stands as a top priority for gov-

ernments, the United Nations, and the international community today. One notable leader in this domain is the European Union (EU), which is on the verge of adopting its first legislative act pertaining to artificial intelligence, known as the EU AI Act. This landmark legislation will oversee the creation, use, and implementation of artificial intelligence across the entire European region. The EU AI Act has been under development for two years, with intensive negotiations ongoing within EU internal structures. Presently, all major issues have been resolved, and the act is expected to be enacted soon. The EU AI Act adopts a risk-based approach, incorporating a risk pyramid framework wherein high-risk applications will be subject to stringent regulations or even prohibition. This tiered system will classify applications based on their level of risk, with strict conditions imposed on those deemed to pose higher risks. Importantly, the legislation isnโ€™t designed to restrict the use of AI but rather, it aims to promote responsible AI adoption, ensuring that advancements in AI technology donโ€™t come at the expense of human well-being. At the same time, various AI governance initiatives are being developed and introduced in different parts of the world, including USA, China, UK and many others. At the United Nations, the Secretary-General created an Artificial Intelligence Advisory Body on risks, opportunities and international governance of AI. The body will support the international communityโ€™s efforts to govern artificial intelligence and expected to present its recommendations by the summer of 2024. Recently, you attended the Davos 2024 forum, where AI featured prominently. Could you elaborate on the key topics discussed in relation to AI? Additionally, what are the current discussions and criticisms surrounding artificial intelligence? At the 2024 Davos Forum, AI took center stage as one of the primary topics of discussion.

Conversations delved into a range of themes, including the ethical and responsible use of artificial intelligence, its potential role in sustainable developmentโ€”particularly in addressing challenges like climate changeโ€”and its implications for security. Moreover, discussions explored the economic implications of AI, as well as the imperative of governing and regulating AI technology. Participants also examined the opportunities and challenges associated with international cooperation in AI governance. Additionally, the forum participants emphasized the importance of safeguarding universal principles of human rights in the age of AI. Moreover, discussions extended to the intersection of artificial intelligence with healthcare, recognizing that AI is indispensable for both current and future healthcare systems. Additionally, a significant attention was paid to the integration of AI within education system, aiming to leverage AI to enhance educational opportunities for individuals. Presently, nearly half of the global population lacks adequate internet connectivity, highlighting the urgency of extending internet access to underserved regions. Addressing this gap by expanding internet access is crucial to prevent disparities and ensure equitable access to educational resources worldwide. Bridging this digital divide will prevent the emergence of isolated communities lacking connectivity, thereby averting potential serious security challenges.

Looking ahead, I foresee AI becoming seamlessly integrated across all sectors in the near future and our primary objective will be to ensure that AI remains a tool in service of humanity, not the other way round, guiding our efforts to align processes accordingly. Finally, reflecting on your remarkable career journey, which is truly impressive, what advice would you offer to those aspiring to establish themselves in the international arena? Considering the challenges you encountered along the way, what qualities proved most valuable in navigating this path? Starting and pioneering a new field always comes with numerous difficulties, obstacles and even criticism. For instance, at the first meeting of the AI at the margins of the UNGA, there were some people who even thought that AI was a realm of science fiction and had no place at the United Nations. As Aristotle once said: โ€œthere is only one way to avoid criticism: do nothing, say nothing and be nothingโ€. Therefore, we should never be afraid to innovate and face new challenges. In my opinion, three things are crucial for success: continuous learning, seeking new experiences, and enjoying the process

ier for us to integrate into American life, as we found common ground with our classmates. Initially, we were viewed as outsiders, likely because our teachers and peers had never encountered anyone from our region before, especially considering the recent dissolution of the Soviet Union. After finishing high school in 1994, I continued my studies in New York. Although my father initially envisioned me pursuing international relations, I graduated with a bachelorโ€™s degree in political science from Pace University. I actively participated in student organizations, such as Model United Nations, and was eventually elected as the groupโ€™s president, leading me to take international relations more seriously. Upon graduation, I discovered the Optional Practical Training opportunity for foreign students, which allowed me to seek employment after obtaining my university degree. I interned at the Manhattan District Attorneyโ€™s office and, after gaining the right to work, actively pursued job opportunities. At that point, my focus wasnโ€™t on settling permanently in the U.S.; rather, I aimed to acquire skills and return to Georgia. (During this period, I deeply missed my mother, having lost my father, which made family life quite challenging for us.) After a year, I received a job offer to stay and was granted an H1B work visa valid for three years, which I gladly accepted. I began working at WES and remain there to this day. WES is the largest organization in the field of credential assessment services, established in response to conventions developed after the Second World War. The cornerstone conventions in our field include the Lisbon Recognition Convention and the Global Convention on the Recognition of Qualifications concerning Higher Education. These conventions aim to ensure seamless recognition of education credentials across borders without loss of value. Recognition of qualifications is not only crucial from an educational standpoint but also has significant economic implications. When individualsโ€™ qualifications are recognized, they can seek employment matching their skill sets, leading to higher earnings and increased opportunities. Consequently, higher wages result in greater tax contributions, benefiting society as a whole. How was WES founded and what is your career path in this organization? WES was established in 1974 by Peace Corps volunteers who recognized the challenges individuals faced in having their international qualifications recognized in the United States. They had to start working from the scratch. Iโ€™ve been with WES for 22 years, and for me, as an immigrant, working here is not just a job or a career; itโ€™s a calling. Knowing that weโ€™re positively impacting millions of people through our solutions adds profound meaning to my work. In 2009, I relocated to the Toronto office, which at the time had 20 employees. Today, our team has grown to 145 members. My role within the organization evolved over time, gradually transitioning into administration. In 2012-13, WES initiated was designated to a partnership partner with Immigration, Refugees and Citizenship Canada (IRCC) in response to the introduction of a points-based system for immigrants in Canada, known as the Express Entry System. Previously, this process was managed solely by government personnel. However, discussions began in 2011-12 regarding

the delegation of these responsibilities, and they approached us. We collaborated on determining which credentials should be assigned points, ultimately developing a Points Grid. Then, we became integral to that process and experienced exponential growth. In 2009, if the number of applications was around 11-12 thousand, we witnessed a significant surge, with applications reaching 500,000 per year today. This figure represents the influx of potential immigrants and students aspiring to come to America. Our organization began advocating and emphasizing the importance of recognizing education for societal and economic advantage. Consequently, we garnered numerous partners. However, making an impact in America is no easy feat. In contrast, we found like-minded organizations more readily in Canada. In my view, Canada needs to continue this process to attract more immigrants, especially considering its projected population growth from 40 million to 80 million in the future agenda. And, educational qualifications are a primary criterion for immigrants aspiring to come to Canada. While establishing the appropriate framework, I recall an IRCC director saying: โ€œWe understand that it may be challenging for engineers or doctors to continue working in the same profession here. However, we also recognize their commitment to ensuring their children receive education, which is beneficial for the society in long term.โ€ Canada strategically calculates for the next generation, demonstrating a deeper and more strategic interest in this topic compared to the United States. In US, the approach tends to be more capitalist, with a โ€œsink or swimโ€ mentality. Success largely depends on individual effort. Consequently, Canada presents a hybrid approach, drawing from both European and American models. When observing Canadian policymakers, I appreciate their strategic approach

I've been with WES for 22 years, and for me, as an immigrant, working here is not just a job or a career; it's a calling. Knowing that we're positively impacting millions of people through our solutions adds profound meaning to my work. to immigration, reminiscent of the immigration strategies that benefitted United State a century ago. Since the organization is global, does its activity extend to other countries as well, such as European countries? The organization is primarily based in North America. Although the conventions I mentioned originated in Europe, in Europe, this process is typically managed by the states themselves. In North America, given the decentralized nature of governance, this responsibility falls to the private sector. Non-governmental organizations, primarily non-profits, predominantly provide this service. However, there are also smaller commercial entities operating in this field. What is the advantage of conducting this activity by the state or a non-governmental organization?

Good question. In my view, as an independent organization, we are afforded the opportunity to evaluate education in a more holistic manner, considering factors such as depth and the breadth of curriculum. In other cases, assessments may be more general, lacking the qualitative and in-depth analysis of content. By convention, if an individual holds an undergraduate degree from an accredited university, they are typically recognized as such. In US and Canada, independent organizations make these determinations. For instance, doctorate degrees awarded in Georgia from 1994 to 2005 may not be recognized in America due to concerns regarding quality assurance challenges prevalent in Georgia and other post-Soviet countries. However, European sate entities have less independence to make such decisions. United States has opted to delegate this responsibility to the private sector, leaving it to universities and licensing organizations to accept these evaluations. In Europe, this process is somewhat streamlined. Letโ€™s talk about your personal challenges. Obviously, it would not be easy for a foreigner to advance his career in America. What challenges did you face and what qualities helped you in the process? WES is an international organization, similar to a small United Nations, where we communicate in 40 languages and employ a total of 450 people across both offices. Transitioning from a specialist to an administrative role was my ambition but being appointed manager at younger age with team members my fatherโ€™s age posed a unique challenge. However, I managed to unite the team with me being approachable and fostering a supportive environment. Recognizing and valuing individuals regardless of their background or orientation was a quality that served me well and likely contributed to my advancement within the organization. However, with promotion came new challenges. Working alongside global leaders who possessed extensive knowledge and expertise sometimes made me feel inadequate, especially considering my background as an immigrant from Georgia with a political science degree amidst colleagues predominantly holding graduate degrees and PhDs in comparative education.

approaches and closer engagement with the Western world to provide students with enhanced opportunities for growth and exposure. Artificial intelligence currently dominates discussions in international forums as one of the most pivotal topics. In the realm of education, what challenges and opportunities do you perceive in this domain? Skill-based education has gained popularity, presenting both opportunities and risks. Thereโ€™s a growing sense that holistic education might become a luxury in the future. Young individuals seem increasingly disinterested in committing 4-5 years to university studies, preferring skill-based employment. Even my 12-year-old son recently questioned the necessity of investing in his college education, emphasizing his interest in technologies. In Tbilisi, thereโ€™s a notable company, Algorithm, offering online coding classes for children, which my son enthusiastically embraces, expressing a preference for it over traditional college education. Beyond familial conversations, thereโ€™s considerable discourse on reshaping the education system to align more closely with the job market. While this may enhance competitiveness, thereโ€™s a risk of diluting the depth and holistic nature of education. This trend hasnโ€™t fully spread in the US yet, where the traditional 4-year system remains prevalent. In my view, this system nurtures individuals comprehensively, fostering critical thinking and ultimately shaping better citizens. Regarding artificial intelligence, AI and virtual reality education likely represent the inevitable future. We may soon transition away from physical classrooms entirely, with education delivered remotely. This virtual migration signifies an increasing trend. AI undoubtedly offers substantial benefits but also carries inherent risks. As AI evolves, being superior to human intelligence, it becomes imperative to equip children with the skills to navigate

The debate over whether AI is a friend or an obstacle to the education system remains ongoing. While it's too early to reach a definitive conclusion, personally, I see more positives than negatives. Given that this technology is accessible to all, using it effectively could lead to greater collective strength and advancement. this landscape effectively. Teaching them how to pose questions to elicit optimal responses is crucial and should be integrated into school curricula.

mission to the United Nations. Today, in Georgia, the technical procedure (receiving applications, inviting a commission) is carried by the Youth Agency of Georgia, and Youth Representative is elected by a special commission with the following members: UN Resident Coordinator in Georgia, Previous UN Youth Delegate, Member from the Ministry of Education, Science, and Youth, Member from the Ministry of Internal Affairs, Member from the Youth Agency, and Youth Advisory Council. Now the process of selection is underway, and Georgia will soon have a new Representative of Youth in March 2024. I am happy to have the honorable opportunity to be part of the selection committee, which is not a lesser responsibility, requiring understanding of every detail about candidates, their visions and plans. What are your thoughts about youth policy? Representing youth interests and issues on a global and local level can only be done by young people ourselves, as we know whatโ€™s best for our future. While serving my term as a UNYD, it was a great confidence boost and helped develop important leadership skills to advocate for the issues that mattered most to young people.

is not just about ensuring young people have a voice. Itโ€™s also about giving the next generation of leaders the skills needed to drive themselves forward. As the prospective leaders of tomorrow, governments must equip us with essential resources, enabling us to effectively assume our responsibilities as guardians of the upcoming generation. This entails a heightened commitment to incorporating youth perspectives in both policy formulation and decision-making procedures, aligning with the principles outlined in UN Security Council Resolution 2250, adopted unanimously on December 9, 2015, a ground-breaking resolution on Youth, Peace and Security which recognizes that โ€œyoung people play an important and positive role in the maintenance and promotion of international peace and securityโ€. UNSCR 2250 (2015) identifies five key pillars for action: participation, protection, prevention, partnerships and reintegration. This landmark resolution urges Member States to give youth a greater voice in decision-making at the local, national, regional and international levels and to consider setting up mechanisms that would enable young people to participate meaningfully in peace processes. The Security Council also requests the Secretary-General of the United Nations to carry out a study on young peopleโ€™s positive contribution to peace processes and conflict resolution, and urges Member States to โ€œincrease, as appropriate, their political, financial, technical and logistical support, that take account of the needs and participation of youth in peace efforts, in conflict and post-conflict situations, including those undertaken by relevant entities, funds and programs, and other relevant bodies and actors at regional and international levelsโ€.

It is important to mention that in our region, Georgia is still the only country who has Youth Delegate to the UN. Ultimately, only with the help of such positions will young people be able to grow as leaders and acquire the skills needed to enact positive social change. Considering your mandate term experience, what are the main challenges facing Georgiaโ€™s youth? In the midst of Georgiaโ€™s transitional phase, its youth grapple with the challenge of carving out their space within civic, socio-economic, and particularly, political spheres. The predominant issue faced by young people across regions revolves around employment, presenting a serious obstacle. While some municipalities have established City Hall Advisory Boards to engage in the budgeting process, such initiatives remain contingent on the discretion of individual municipalities. A notable revelation for me has been the limited involvement of youth in the policymaking of well-established NGOs. Despite being the target goal in various projects, young people often find themselves relegated to a symbolic role, serving as mere โ€œdecorationโ€ rather than active participants in the decision-making

In my advocacy, I consistently appeal to diplomatic missions and international donors to insist on direct support for youth from NGOs. However, the most effective approach, in my view, is one guided by the principle of โ€œBY YOUTH, FOR YOUTH, WITH YOUTHโ€.

mandate, this was not the first โ€œfirst timeโ€, because on September 29, 2022, within the framework of the 77th session of the UN General Assembly, at the General Discussion of the Third Committee (GA/SHC/4342), I started the speech with an Abkhazian โ€œHelloโ€ (โ€œMshibziaโ€), which was the first Abkhazian word ever spoken to the UN. It is important that, in the Constitution of Georgia, the Abkhazian language is also an official state language alongside Georgian. While in New York, I asked our mission if someone ever was presented in national dress โ€œChokhaโ€ during the speech; no one could recall. So, after returning to Georgia, I started preparing properly for the next important - United Nations ECOSOC Youth Forum 2023 (Ministerial). But as you know, Caucasus national dress has many ornaments, and it depends on cultural aspects. Considering that it was a symbolic gesture, I decided to wear something very classical and simple, mostly typical for many Caucasian people. Itโ€™s indeed an enormous honor to speak on behalf of the youth of Georgia, and I think I will never forget the feeling. How can your โ€œGali - New Yorkโ€ story influence the other young peopleโ€™s thinking? People like real stories. And โ€œGali-New Yorkโ€ is a real story. It was never easy, but has already proven that itโ€™s possible, and if I could walk through this, many can. We must be examples. We should always try. Look at me, I am just a young person, mortal as everyone else. Years ago, when I lived in a small town - Gali, in a conflict-affected area, I could not realize that such a perspective was possible. Even in dreams, I could not imagine myself at United Nations Headquarters, officially speaking on behalf of the youth of my country. But it is real now. This little story can become a good motivational message for any young person living at any point in Georgia, in villages, cities, towns, or mountains, anywhere. During my mandate term, I met with more than 500 young people in different regions of Georgia, at universities, schools, youth centers, or municipality youth councils, and I saw so many bright minds that I felt the entire Georgia was among them; they are European people. No one can change this reality. Share with us how it all started... When I finished school in Gali, there was no specific plan. It is obvious why. Moving from a small town to a much bigger city, Tbilisi, where you never lived and no one knows you, is a huge challenge, especially for young people. Itโ€™s not only about the social-economic situation but every aspect of life. I am mentioning this sentence often because people donโ€™t fully understand what kind of struggle it is, but look, anyone who came to Tbilisi to study is starting not from zero but even from below. Why? Because you have to study at the university, you have to work, pay rent, cook, wash, etc. Your mission is not only education, but survival... I prefer not to talk about the problems now; I think there will be time and space in the future for remembering the details of โ€œsurviving mode.โ€ Letโ€™s focus on the bright side. There is a saying, โ€œItโ€™s better to light a candle than curse the darkness.โ€ So, such a life also has advantages, like, you are starting to make decisions. You are alone with your issues.

A notable revelation for me has been the limited involvement of youth in the policymaking of wellestablished NGOs. Despite being the target goal in various projects, young people often find themselves relegated to a symbolic role, serving as mere "decoration" rather than active participants in the decision-making process. many good people-supporters are appearing. Itโ€™s inherent in human nature that when people witness your hard work, even if not always successful but persistent, they are inclined to lend a helping hand. I take pride in having such individuals around me who genuinely celebrate my achievements. Itโ€™s a significant responsibility when people believe in and trust you. I remember when I was a student, my friends and I decided to go to regions of Georgia as volunteers and hold meetings at schools. After, the idea became a great project โ€œMore Europe to the Mountain.โ€ We visited 47 schools in 5 regions, held meetings with students and teachers, and transferred the knowledge we got from universities about European values and opportunities. This initiative gave me more confidence because, when students are traveling around the country, having the ambition to teach others is interesting. Such experience already gave me good skills for applying for UN Youth Delegate positions. In one sentence, what would be your message to young people? No matter what you are doing or where you are, just believe in yourself, because sometimes even the impossible is possible if you try hard, work hard, and never give up!

he 60th session of the Munich Security Conference took place on February 16-18 this year. However, the atmosphere was far from celebratory due to prevailing security concerns in the region.

Georgia has been a participant in the Munich Security Conference (MSC) since the era of the Government of Eduard Shevardnadze. Though, it garnered significant international attention during Saakashviliโ€™s rule, especially in 2009, a few months after Russiaโ€™s war against Georgia. Subsequently, attention decreased.

government leadership, there was considerable debate within the international community regarding whether Ivanishvili would steer the country away from its Euro-Atlantic aspirations and towards closer ties with Moscow. Consequently, it was crucial that Ivanishviliโ€™s team remained dedicated to Georgiaโ€™s accession to Euro-Atlantic organizations such as the European Union and NATO. This dedication might explain why, for much of Georgian Dreamโ€™s first term (2013-2015), the Georgian government utilized the Munich conferences as a platform to underscore its foreign policy priority of joining the EU and NATO. For instance, in 2013, then Minister of Foreign Affairs Maia Panjikidze highlighted Georgian NATO membership as a key objective and reaffirmed Georgiaโ€™s commitment to its Western allies, citing its involvement in peacekeeping missions in Afghanistan. In 2014, during Prime Minister Irakli Gharibashviliโ€™s first visit to Munich, he participated in a panel alongside Russian politician Leonid Slutsky. Despite Slutskyโ€™s presence, Gharibashvili reiterated the strong desire of the Georgian people to join the EU and emphasized Georgiaโ€™s place within the European family. Regarding relations with Russia, in 2013, Panjikidze outlined the new governmentโ€™s foreign policy approach, which included initiating dialogue with Moscow and fostering economic ties. However, she maintained that solid diplomatic relations with Russia would not be pursued until it ceased its occupation of Georgian territory. In 2014, Gharibashvili echoed Panjikidzeโ€™s stance, affirming Georgiaโ€™s commitment to constructive engagement with Russia even in the face of provocations near occupied territories. Slutsky expressed gratitude for Gharibashviliโ€™s position. However, by 2015, Gharibashviliโ€™s rhetoric toward Russia underwent a significant shift. He asserted that Russia showed no willingness to resolve the conflict, and constructive talks had yielded no results. Furthermore, he emphasized that the West should have imposed sanctions following the 2008 Russian-Georgian war. The precise reasons for Gharibashviliโ€™s abrupt change in rhetoric toward Russia remain unclear, possibly stemming from various factors such as perceived failures in the constructive foreign policy approach or international reactions to Russiaโ€™s annexation of Crimea. Between 2016 and 2018, the new Prime Minister of Georgian Dream, Giorgi Kvirikashvili, attended the Munich Security Conference. Following the Refugee Crisis, the prospects for EU enlargement were less promising compared to the present situation. Consequently, Kvirikashvili emphasized Georgiaโ€™s historical ties with Europe and the importance of its accession to the EU. This period also saw Kvirikashviliโ€™s efforts to draw attention from European politicians to issues such as visa liberalization. In 2017, when discussing Russia, the Prime Minister noted that while economic relations were improving, political relations remained stagnant, with talks in Geneva yielding no results. He admitted to lacking a clear solution to the conflict with Russia but stressed the importance of unity among the civilized world on the matter. He also underscored that NATO, as more than just a military alliance. Between 2020 and 2022, Georgian leaders were notably absent from panel discussions, reflecting a shift in focus from regional to international issues, with Eastern European con-

cerns relegated to the background. Consequently, then Prime Ministers Giorgi Gakharia and Irakli Gharibashvili had limited engagement, primarily through private meetings. In 2023, due to Russiaโ€™s war against Ukraine, the region continued to receive attention, giving Gharibashvili the opportunity to discuss Georgia-Russia relations within the context of South Caucasian security.While he referenced the governmentโ€™s peaceful plan to restore Georgiaโ€™s territorial integrity, he refrained from explicitly stating Russiaโ€™s unwillingness to resolve the conflict. Despite a decade of Geneva international discussions serving as the primary avenue for Georgian efforts towards resolution, progress remained minimal. Interestingly, Gharibashvili did not mention Georgiaโ€™s accession to NATO in his remarks. The overarching message from Gharibashvili emphasized global peace, echoing his governmentโ€™s commitment to maintaining peace, a recurring theme within domestic politics under the Georgian Dream. In 2024, instead of the Georgian Dream, President Salome Zourabishvili was invited to join the panel on EU enlargement. While Gharibashvili did not broach the topic of the Black Sea and its role in EU security last year, Salome Zourabishvili did, echoing a point previously made by then Prime Minister Mamuka Bakhtadze in 2019. She emphasized that enlargement would mutually benefit the EU and Georgia by strengthening European security, reiterating Kvirikashviliโ€™s perspective on the necessity of unity within the EU. Overall, it is evident that the Georgian Dream leveraged the Munich platform in its first term to underscore its commitment to Euro-Atlantic integration. During Kvirikashviliโ€™s tenure, the primary focus was on showcasing the significance of Georgiaโ€™s EU membership. In the third term, the Georgian Dream began to incorporate its domestic policy of โ€œmaintaining peaceโ€ into its foreign politics discourse. Itโ€™s also noteworthy that Salome Zourabishviliโ€™s speeches aligned more closely with pre-2020 government rhetoric, emphasizing the importance of Western unity and the Black Sea regionโ€™s role in European regional security. As Georgia prepares for elections, the outlook for next yearโ€™s Munich conference remains uncertain, with questions lingering about potential shifts in the countryโ€™s foreign policy stance.
