At the meeting “we analyzed bilateral relations between Georgia and the United States,” he said. “I thanked the United States, which has been providing support and assistance to Georgia for 20 years and expressed the hope that these relations will deepen even more.”

Ivanishvili assured Rubin that “Georgia will be even a more reliable partner for the United States.”
