France & UK Support Georgian Govt's New Peace Plan

During a meeting at the UN in New York, high-rank representatives of the UK and France stressed their support for Georgia’s sovereignty, condemning the occupation of its territories and praising Georgia’s peace initiatives.

The representatives addressed other officials during a meeting on “Respect for Human Rights for Sustainable Peace” on the sidelines of the UN General Assembly. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs confirmed the statements issued by the UK and France, thanking them for their continued efforts to re-establish Georgia’s international borders.

Going hand-in-hand with the strengthened French presence in foreign matters, the European nation spearheaded the condemnation of the occupying forces in Georgia, while emphasizing the peace efforts. “The initiatives on the construction of bridges and improvement of the humanitarian condition are what we need today," one French diplomat positively acknowledged.

"The UK supports Georgia's peace initiative, it's a pragmatic, innovative plan and provides better opportunities for building bridges between the communities that are separated by war," one representative of the UK noted. 

Both governments continued to praise the work of international monitoring missions to record human rights violations in the occupied territories, notint the importance of the monitoring missions having full access to the regions and receiving the full support of both parties involved in the conflict.

The statements came after the Government of Georgia introduced a new peace plan consisting of three main directions to spur trade, improve education, and provide essential services to the regions' populations.
