Tbilisi/ 27.08.15/Turan-BS PRESS: On 27 August the NATO Secretary General Jens Stoltenberg and Prime Minister of Georgia Irakli Garibashvili opened a joint training center near Tbilisi. The training center will train Georgian soldiers, as well as member states and partners of NATO. The establishment of this center provides a package of measures to encourage Georgia in its quest for membership in the alliance. It was approved at the NATO summit in Wales in September 2014. "We hope that this new collaboration tool will contribute to the deepening of relations between Georgia and NATO," said Garibashvili.
"Cooperation in the future will deepen. While still need to work to ensure that the center has function at full load. Georgia, we and NATO partners we will do our best to get the most out of the training center which will offer the audience," said Stoltenberg.
Georgia can hope for NATO, but Euro-Atlantic integration is a difficult path, said the secretary general.
"We are closely following your reforms and stress the progress made. NATO hopes for Georgia, and Georgia can hope for NATO," said Stoltenberg. -02D-
