Estonia Will Continue To Support Georgia

President of the Riigikogu, Eiki Nestor attended events celebrating the centennial of Georgia on Saturday whereby he stressed Estonia's support for the country, its territorial integrity, and its close ties with the European Union.

"We appreciate the achievements of Georgia highly, and wish the 100-year-old state prosperity and success on its way to the European Union,” he said. “We support our good friend Georgia in its reforms by sharing our experience of open elections and developing of e-government.”

Nestor added that he believes Georgia's visa freedom with the EU is an important landmark in the country's political and economic integration with the EU. He noted that it is also important to continue to work to achieve Georgian NATO membership.

"Estonia supports the sovereignty and territorial integrity of Georgia and continues to do everything in its power to ensure that the problems of the occupied territories of Georgia are not forgotten by the international community when other crises emerge," Nestor said.  

Nestor participated in a roundtable discussion at the Georgian Parliament and attended celebratory events in the afternoon and evening.
