Ambassador’s Welcome Speech

Dear guests,

I have the honour of welcoming you to the official web page of the Embassy of Georgia in the Republic of Ireland. On our web page you have access to information about important events taking place in Georgia. Here you can learn about the bilateral relations between Georgia and the Republic of Ireland, and the work carried out by the Embassy of Georgia in the Republic of Ireland. The web page also offers information about Georgia's foreign policy, economy, business, culture, tourism and consular information.

Upon gaining independence Georgia being historically and culturally an inseparable part of Europe chose the path of democratic development and has taken important steps towards the establishment of democratic and European values.

Our aim is firm and clear - a united, strong and democratic Georgia is to establish its place in the family of European countries. The support of the member countries of the European Union and the sharing of their experience of democratic development and European integration processes is of great importance for Georgia.

Diplomatic relations between Georgia and the Republic of Ireland were established in 1996. The friendship between Georgia and the Republic of Ireland is a friendship between countries that share the values of democracy, freedom and European values.

The Embassy of Georgia in the Republic of Ireland aims to strengthen the existing friendship between the two countries and aid the development and the furthering of the mutually beneficial bilateral cooperation in a multitude of political areas.

I hope our web page will help you discover useful and important information about Georgia.

George Zurabashvili

Ambassador Extraordinary and Plenipotentiary
