John Kerry, a Democratic Senator, who paid a brief visit to Tbilisi on December 13, said he was confident that the Georgian government was committed to continuing democratic reforms in the country. “I am confident that the current government is very interested in continuing that progress and in undertaking further reforms and we look forward to working with them,” he said at a news conference held shortly before departure from Tbilisi. He also said it was “important to continue the reform process” and added that President Saakashvili said to him during the meeting that he also believed that it was important to continue reforms. Before meeting with President Saakashvili, the U.S. Senator met with some opposition leaders, involving Davit Usupashvili, the leader of Republican Party – which has an alliance with the New Rights Party; Nino Burjanadze, the former parliamentary speaker; Levan Gachechiladze, a former opposition presidential candidate and MP Giorgi Targamadze, the leader of Christian-Democratic Party. |
