Friday, 16 December 2011The exact date of the U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's visit to Georgia has not determined yet, U.S. Deputy Assistant Secretary on Europe and Eurasia Eric Rubin said at the briefing in Tbilisi on Friday.
"The process is underway to schedule the visit and it will be determined on the basis of the consent of both parties," Rubin said. "Agenda of the visit is being developed. But now we can say that Secretary of State will meet with the Georgian officials, including the heads of economic, trade and defense bodies."
Rubin underscored during the visit it is planned to discuss future parliamentary elections in Georgia, and preparations for NATO summit in Chicago, which is scheduled to be held in May.
In summer of 2010 Clinton within her tour of the South Caucasus visited Tbilisi to meet with the head of state.
According to Rubin, the United States continues to support Georgian democracy, its NATO aspirations and the bilateral relations are based on the Charter of Strategic partnership created between the countries.
"This Charter includes spheres which were the subject of our cooperation over the past years. The sides took commitments to interact each other and the U.S., in its turn, has undertaken a commitment to assist Georgia's integration into Euro-Atlantic organizations and NATO," Rubin said.
